– The future students of the campus of the city of Accra gathered to register
– These students ignored the social distancing protocol
– This comes amid an increase in Covid-19 cases in Ghana
Photos from the University of Ghana’s Accra city campus show students crowded to enroll in the 2021/2022 academic year.
What is disturbing about these images is how these students have been left in the crowd and not in social distancing at a time when cases of covid-19 in Ghana are on the rise.
Even though most of these students wear face masks, authorities appear to have left it to the wind in ensuring these students are in a protocol structured by wills amid the coronavirus.

Ghana Covid-19 Cases Rise, Doctors Tell Ghanaians ‘Your Health Is In Your Hands’
The government is under tremendous pressure to carry out a second lockdown. Ghana’s coronavirus positivity rate continues to rise. The Ghana Medical Association has warned that hospitals and intensive care units (ICUs) are overwhelmed with Covid-19 cases.
As of January 11, the number of confirmed active cases – as reported on the Ministry of Health’s website – stood at 1,404.
Figures from the Department of Health show an increase in daily figures since December – this has been linked to indiscipline, failure to adhere to covid-19 protocols and elections.
Already, the Ghana Medical Association has warned the public that “their health is in their hands” and that hospitals are overwhelmed to cope with the outbreak of the virus.
A concern has been the cost of testing as well as the lack of contact tracing by the Department of Health. These problems, according to the GMA, have led to a growing increase in Covid cases.

Even as the government rushes to curb the spread of the virus, suspicion of Covid-19 data deletion continues to rise. Journalists and some medical professionals doubt the figures presented by the Ministry of Health because they claim that they (the figures) are in stark contrast to the reality in various medical establishments.
Meanwhile, President Akufo Addo assured that Ghana was ready to roll out a mass vaccination program against Covid-19. Speaking during his recent speech on Covid-19, the President revealed that procurement processes are well advanced to secure millions of doses of vaccines in 2021.
This assurance comes as Nigeria, neighboring Ghana, has recorded a new case of the Covid-19 variant which scientists around the world say is more contagious than the Covid-19 we know of.
Even though Ghana has outlined strategic interventions to stem the spread of the coronavirus, law enforcement has been very weak across the country. The Ghana Medical Association condemned what it described as “the indiscipline of Ghanaians to adhere to security protocols against Covid”.

Many Ghanaians go about their business without covering their faces. The sale and purchase of hand sanitizers also fell as if the virus had been completely defeated in the sub-region.
Cases continue to be recorded, particularly in Accra. A recent graphical presentation of the spread of the virus shows a peak in the first and second weeks of December.
