Medical Team at Begoro in the Fanteakwa North Municipality of the Eastern Region is finding it difficult to get accommodations to quarantine dozens of nurses and patients who came to contact with COVID-19 positive cases.
Mybrytfmonline.con has gathered there are high apprehensions among residents resisting the medical team from bringing the health workers and patients to their communities to be quarantined.
There was near pandemonium on Tuesday when residents living around Begoro Presbyterian Senior High School violently resisted the medical team.
Mybrytfmonline sources say some of the angry residents pulled cutlasses, sticks to attack the medical team while others nearly set ablaze cars of a Chief in the community.
On April 5, 2020, as a 65-year-old man was admitted at the male ward of the Hospital on the reported case of query tuberculosis but on the next day, he developed dyspnea and fever of about 40 degrees Celsius which management became suspicious hence took his sample to Noguchi which he tested positive.
About 58 exposed Staff of the hospital who had contact with the patient are to be quarantined.
The male ward has since been closed for fumigation while patients who were on admission with him have all been listed to be quarantined for observation and testing.
Since the information broke out, there is anxiety in the district creating high stigmatization against health workers at the facility.
