Senior Virologist at the Kumasi Center for Collaborative Research (KCCR), Dr. Augustina A. Sylverken, has urged the Ghana Health Service (GHS) to espouse diverse ways of educating the public against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dr. Sylverken expressed concerns over the recent upsurge of Ghana’s COVID-19 cases and how the general public is extremely disregarding the Covid-19 safety protocols.
She is livid at how people are being exposed to COVID-19 at large gatherings during the yuletide and the fact that there is limited adherence to the safety protocols.
The virologist who was speaking in an interview on Onua FM on Monday December 27, called on GHS to desist from using the usual scientific jargon which is difficult to understand.
“Maybe I think that we also need to change or revive the way we educate the listening public on the spread of the virus,” she said.
Unquestionably, she has said the wearing of face masks is a lackluster practice but people need to accept the challenge and protect themselves from contracting the virus.
