Ghana records 31 new cases of Covid-19

Ghana has recorded 31 new cases of Covid-19, the Ghana Health Services has revealed.

Dr Kwame Amponsah-Achiano, Programmes Manager at the Expanded Programme on Immunization at the Ghana Health Service, said the cases are not severe.

Addressing journalists in Accra, he announced plans we’re far advanced for the GHS to begin a vaccination exercise on Sunday, May 5, to help contain the spread of the virus.

“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.”
