The Ghana Medical Association has hinted that the country is likely to go on another lockdown if active cases of the novel coronavirus rises.
“If we don’t take care of ourselves, and looking at the trajectory, we might have to go back to lockdown but if that can be avoided, why not,” the General Secretary of the GMA who also doubles as a member of the Infectious Diseases Committee of the Association, Dr Titus Bayuo told Accra-based Starr FM on Monday, November 9, 2020.
“…we are pushing ourselves towards tougher restrictions [i.e. ban on social gatherings, lockdown] and if we get there the political leaders will have no option,” he added.
His comments come after Akuffo-Addo’s latest nation addresses on measure to fight the virus.
Akufo-Addo’s latest address to the nation on the government’s handling of the contagion argued that if Ghanaians don’t protect themselves and cases keep going up, “the only way is to get restricted.”
“Is that what we want? If that’s not what we want, then we must act now,” he said.
