Suggestions that Ghana could experience a second wave of coronavirus infections may be gaining ground following the latest update on the pandemic situation.
The latest update from the Ghana Health Service (GHS) indicates that active cases have seen a sharp rise to 947 after 145 new cases were identified.
The number of active cases has risen steadily over the past two weeks, from 589 to 620 to 819 and 877.
The death toll from the virus has stood at 320 since October 26, 2020.
Meanwhile, despite the steady increase in active cases, the Ghana Health Service (GHS) has downplayed the possibility of a second wave being experienced in some European countries.
GHS Director General Dr. Patrick Kuma-Aboagye explained that the daily average number of infections recorded despite the steady increase shows that Ghana is in a safe place.
“As for a second wave, those of us who are looking at the figures have not seen any indication in that direction. Normally you would have used our moving averages, it’s still on the website, we haven’t moderated it. I keep saying that we are where we are because we did a lot of things, including testing, isolation, treatment and adherence to protocol, ”Dr. Aboagye quotes in Citi News on November 3, 2020.
The latest coronavirus update released by the GHS on November 5, 2020 shows that the cumulative case count since March is 48,788, with 47,521 recoveries / downloads.
