President Nana Akufo-Addo has revealed that there has been a dramatic decrease in diarrhoea diseases, and Ghana has not had any cholera outbreaks these past three years.
According to him, these developments are attributable mostly to the hand washing and improved hygiene regimen in communities since the outbreak of the pandemic Covid-19.
Addressing the nation to give update on Covid-19 on Sunday,28th May 2023, Nana Akufo-Addo
urged all Ghanaians to continue with the regular hand washing and other personal hygiene measures, so they become entrenched national habits.
“It does not hurt to wear a mask if you have a cold for example, it might protect those around you. If you are uncomfortable in a crowded and enclosed space, go out into the open and continue the new ways we have devised for outside entertainment. I hope there will be no argument that we should continue and institutionalize the periodic cleansing, disinfection and fumigation of markets.”
The president said never again should our markets be breeding grounds for rodents.
