How Ghana’s health workers may be contracting COVID-19 – Oppong Nkrumah opens up

Image
Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has lamented how the withholding of travel history by some patients who go to seek medical help for various ailments is putting health workers at risk of contracting the COVID 19 in Ghana. He says some health workers have had to expose themselves to potential COVID-19 carriers without taking the necessary precautions, because either the patient or family members who take them to the hospital would not open up about their travel history until the very last minute. Speaking in an interview with Kwame Sefa Kayi on Peace FM monitored by MyNewsGh.com on Monday morning, the Ofoase Ayirebi MP narrated how a medical officer unbeknownst, in his bid to save a life, performed a cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on an unconscious patient who had been rushed to the hospital and it later turned out that the he had COVID-19.

Expect a big jump in Ghana’s COVID-19 cases – Dr Michael Owusu

Virologist with the Kumasi Centre for Collaborative Research (KCCR) Dr Michael Owusu has noted that considering Ghana’s current statistics and breakdown and the strategies undertaken so far, there will be a significant  jump in the number of COVID-19 cases in the next one or two weeks if nothing significant changes. “The virus has a reproductive number of 2.5 to 3 so it grows exponentially. And the exponential growth depends on the multiple number of contracts we have. So what I expect is that if nothing changes and things move on as it is, there is still multiple number of contacts happening then you expect a big jump and it will happen in the next one to two weeks,” he explained in an interview monitored by MyNewsGh.com He added that the current death of 2.2 percent does not really represent the real situation on the ground since the true number of infected persons is yet to be ascertained.

Lockdown: Coronavirus has thought us the need for domestication – Minister

Image
  Ashanti Regional Minister Hon Simon Osei Mensah has agreed to the fact that it is better the country concentrate on improving upon local production rather than depending mostly on foreign imports of goods. The minister’s statement come days after the country saw an artificial shortage of food on the Ghanaian market after President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo announced a partial lockdown in some part of Greater Kumasi and Greater Accra regions. “If we had empowered local crop producers like those at Akumadan, the story would have been good and better for all of us by now. The virus has thought us to go for domestication”. Hon Simon Osei Mensah has said. According to him, the manner in which prices of foodstuffs shot up on the Ghanaian  market all of a sudden indicates that, food security in the country is not protected hence the country may suffer in the near future if coronavirus does not vanish from the country in the shortest possible time. Speaking in an interview o...

Bawumia rescues 76 stranded ‘Ejisu’ Kayaye

Image
Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has gone to the rescue of the stranded head porters (Kayaye) who were on their way to the north because they had no place to sleep during the partial lockdown . The head porters were stopped at Ejisu in the Ashanti Region on their way to the Northern Region by the police but the Vice President instead, has donated 500 Cedis to each of the stranded Kayaye. It would be recalled that the 76 head porters   had attempted to flee from Accra back to their hometowns in the wake of the President’s order for a partial lockdown in the Capital City and other parts of the country, but their journey back home was unsuccessful as it fell within the lockdown time on Monday. Their attempted mass crossover to the north was seen as a threat to stop the spread of the virus in the country, and they were thus stopped from proceeding by security officials, who returned them to Accra. Despite the temporary provision of shelter for them by the Accra Metropoli...
