Country-Specific Measures Regarding Global COVID-19 Situation Set to Be Publicized
In light of the rising number of COVID-19 cases in China and other nations, the Ghana Health Service (GHS) will soon announce the country-specific steps it will take to stop the disease’s spread.
Looking at the decline and continued low levels of COVID-19 cases in Ghana over the last three (3) months, the GHS claims that this situation is precarious.
According to a press release from the Ghana Health Service dated January 1, 2023, Ghana’s relatively low vaccination rate poses a serious threat to importation and a fresh wave of COVID-19 infection in the nation.
Therefore, the service is making all the necessary preparations to prevent a deterioration of the situation.
And in light of this, it iterated as follows:
“This situation calls for tightening and reviewing of existing measures to avert further outbreaks.
Ghana Health Service and the Ministry of Health are critically monitoring the situation in consultation with key stakeholders.
We will shortly come out with our country-specific measures to address the current threat of COVID-19, especially with respect to importation.”
To that effect, the Service urged all Ghanaians to get the COVID-19 vaccination if they haven’t already.
“Those who have taken their first dose are to go for the second dose and those who have taken their second dose are also entreated to go for the booster.
Vaccination remains the best protection against COVID-19 infection” it urged.
