-

 


The Ghana Medical Association (GMA) has bemoaned how some Ghanaians have become reluctant to adhere to all the safety protocols to help curb the spread of the virus.

General Secretary of the Association, Dr. Justice Yankson speaking to the media said, the current upsurge of the active cases is the results of not adhering to the protocols.

According to him, the Delta Variant is very deadlier, faster which is very worried.

The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), has claimed a total of 545 lives in Ghana almost eight months into 2021.

This implies that the number of COVID-19 related deaths, which stood at 335 at the end of 2020 has almost doubled in 2021. The death toll is currently at 880.

Updates from the Ghana Health Service COVID-19 dashboard show that, as of August 6, 2021, the active Coronavirus cases stand at 6,922.

Dr. Yankson added that, the rate at which people are dying from the Delta Variant is very alarming.

He again said, it will be necessary if the government deploy the Military to enforce that Ghanaians adhere to the protocols.

He pleaded with Ghanaians to adhere to all the safety protocols.

To the Editor,

To the Editor, Why I didn’t show up for the morning news production on Monday On that fateful day (Monday, April 4 th 2022) I was preparing to come and produce the morning news despite the heavy rainfall and lack of electricity in my area. I was ready to come around 4:30am when my father ordered me to wait due to crime rate in my area and especially such an ungodly hour. From where l stay, I have to board a taxi to the main road before getting a car to work but unfortunately, there was no car at the time I arrived there around 5:10am because of the rain and lack of electricity.

Thank you                                     ...
