As the issue of coronavirus pandemic escalates in the country as days go by, the District Chief Executive for Kwahu East, Hon Isaac Agyapong has entreated residents in his district to take their health serious as the deadly disease is gradually taking over the country by storm.
According to him, Ghanaians should go by the directives given by health practitioners and pray to God as he believes these are the only preventive measures to end this deadly pandemic.
“Social distancing is very important in times like this. As individuals, we need to isolate ourselves from each other thereby avoiding crowded places. Therefore, if one has no business outside, I would advise he or she stays indoors. It’s difficult to tell if a friend or a family member has the virus and you going out will expose you to a lot of people.
“I will entreat Ghanaians to wash their hands with soap under running water and also sanitize their hand after doing so. Also one should avoid being all touchy when they meet friends or relatives.” He stated.
As at yesterday, three more cases of the novel Coronavirus have been confirmed by health officials in Ghana.
This makes the number of active cases 23 with one death.
“23 of the confirmed cases are receiving treatment in isolation and one of the cases who had an underlying chronic pulmonary condition prior to having COVID-19 died on Saturday, March 21, 2020,” the Ghana Health Service said in an update.
The 23 infected persons, however, “are being managed in isolation, and are doing well on treatment,” the update stated.
Hon Isaac Aggyapong, therefore, advised the good people of Ghana to remain positive as the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread across nations around the world including Ghana
