The Ghana Medical Association (GMA) has called on suppliers and vendors of the various types of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) especially the face mask should not take advantage of the new surge of Covid-19 cases and the increased demand for their products by scaling up prices.
The Association said this, in the long run, will not inure to the benefit of the country in its quest to defeat the virus.
In a press statement jointly signed and issued Monday by the President and General Secretary of the GMA, Dr. Drank Ankobea and Dr. Justice Yankson urged Ghanaians to get tested if they have flu-like symptoms and as much as possible desist from self-medication.
They called on Ghanaians to take their safety into their own hands by adhering strictly to all the Covid-19 safety protocols.
“Government should as a matter of urgency restrict social activities such as parties, church services, funerals, clubs and another social gathering of such nature. The markets should be regulated and as much as possible restricted.”
“Government should restrict the number of people attending the state funeral for the late H.E. Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings and rather encourage people to follow proceedings on television and other social media platforms.
