Strangely, this disclosure by the honourable deputy minister comes at a time when many have expressed disappointment with the government’s handling of the pandemic. Minority leader, Haruna Iddrisu and a host of others have criticized President Akuffo Addo for lifting the lockdown restrictions way too early.
Ghana has currently recorded a total of 3,091 cases of COVID-19, with 303 recoveries and 18 deaths. Greater Accra is the country’s epicentre of the disease, followed by the Ashanti and Eastern Regions.
