Nana Akufo-Addo, the president of the Republic of Ghana has implored Ghanaians to pay attention to their health.
He said when people begin to experience symptoms such as fever, persistent cough, bodily pains, loss of taste and smell, and difficulty in breathing; they seek immediate medical attention at the nearest health facility.
Delivering 11th COVID-19 address, Nana Akufo-Addo remained concerned about the stigma associated with this disease.
He said Stories of persons who have recovered from this disease and being shunned by their relatives and communities are a source of considerable worry to me because they undermine our efforts to fight it.
Nana Akufo-Addo noted that there is nothing shameful about testing positive. “We do not have to lose our sense of community because of this pandemic.”
“Government, through the Ghana Health Service, continues to monitor, daily, the spread of the virus, and has benchmarks of health outcomes, which define the mitigation measures that must be pursued to curb the spread of the disease, and enable us to reassess the easing of restrictions.”
