Ghana’s active cases in the ongoing COVID-19 fight has jumped to 947 from less than 330 a little over a month ago.
In the latest update released by the Ghana Health Service, the country has recorded 145 new cases taking the country’s total number of infections to 48,788.
In total, 47,521 people have recovered from the virus and have been discharged while the death toll remains at 320.
The increase in active figures will be a worry to many as Europe and other parts of the World are experiencing a second wave of the virus that has claimed 1,241,243 lives and infected 49,131,800 globally.
The Ghana Health Service (GHS) last week warned that a second wave of the pandemic can be more terrible than the first if people do not keep to the safety protocols.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic in Accra yesterday, the Director of the Health Promotion Division of the GHS and Leader of the Risk Communication for COVID-19 National Task Force, Dr Dacosta Aboagye, said the posture of the public was causing a gradual rise in active cases, and that if care was not taken, the nation would see a major rise soon.
