The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) communications director Yaw Buaben Asamoa has warned Ghanaians not to relax on COVID-19 protocols.
Reports indicate an increase in COVID-19 cases in Ghana.
According to the Ghana Health Service, the number of active cases in the country stands at 2,858 and 812 patients have died.
Recently, the most contagious variant of the coronavirus called the “Delta variant” has been recorded from India.
More than 100 students at the Achimota school are said to have contracted the Delta variant and recovered from the disease.
Discussing the issue on Peace FM’s “Kokrokoo”, Yaw Buaben Asamoa partly blamed Ghanaians for the upsurge in COVID-19 cases.
He noted that many Ghanaians have abandoned the protocols, putting their lives and the lives of others in danger.
He also raised a point regarding large funeral gatherings and other public events where protocols are least respected.
He called on citizens to revert to the protocols stressing that Ghana almost conquered the disease when the protocols were strictly observed by everyone.
“Let’s go back and do what we were doing… Wear our masks, wash our hands. Practice social distancing at funerals and church, make sure you follow all protocols,” he said .
