After the country began registering new instances in recent weeks, the Ghana Health Service (GHS) has recorded three covid-19-related deaths.
Between June 14 and June 16, three fatalities were reported. GHS has also recorded 243 new cases, 14 of which are severe, and two patients who are critically ill.
Health experts have pushed for a re-evaluation of the safety procedures that were loosened following the President's statement.
The Ghana Medical Association and the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwifery Association are worried that the reappearance of cases does not bode well for the country's fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, which is still beset by vaccine reluctance.
Due to the recent rise of Covid-19 instances, Vice President of the Ghana Medical Association, Dr. Justice Yankson, said at a news conference on Monday that the government must reconsider its enforcement of the rules.
"At this moment, I will advise every Ghanaian to return to the procedures as soon as possible." The state will also have to guarantee that we return to the old procedure that saved the day and prevent this current surge from reaching the prior heights. "Just because the government loosened the protocols at one time doesn't mean we can't go back to them," he explained.
According to Dr. Frank Serebour, President of the Ghana Medical Association, the Ghana Medical Association's Health Promotion Division is attempting to reduce vaccination apprehension among the general people.
"We want to train roughly 2000 health workers to become vaccine champions and enhance their competence in risk communication and community involvement to combat vaccination misinformation," he said.
As of June 20, there have been 243 new cases, 1311 active cases, and two fatalities in the country.
On June 13, the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital was on high alert for Covid-19 infections after 23 of its employees became infected with the virus.
According to a letter sent to staff by the facility's management, around 70% of the diseases were acquired in the hospital and 30% were spread through the community.
The virus has infected five physicians, 13 nurses, and five non-clinical personnel.
