The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has reported 31 new cases of COVID-19 over the past week. Programmes Manager at the Expanded Programme on Immunization, GHS, Dr. Kwame Amponsah-Achiano, noted that these cases are currently not severe.
Addressing the media in Accra, Dr. Amponsah-Achiano emphasized the ongoing efforts to combat the virus. He announced a forthcoming vaccination campaign scheduled to commence on Sunday, May 5th, aimed at mitigating the spread of COVID-19.
“In the past week or so, we were recording some significant numbers up to about 30 or 31 or so. But this is not unexpected. As we have already been saying, COVID has come to stay with us.
It is part of us. And so from time to time and that is why we also haven’t given up on vaccination and so if you are aware, from 5th to 9th May, we are going to do another exercise of COVID vaccination.
“So we are doing the national COVID-19 vaccination exercise as part of our strategies to reduce COVID to the barest minimum.”
