13 doctors in Ghana have so far tested positive for the novel coronavirus, Gossips24.com can confirm.
Ashanti Divisional Chairperson of the Ghana Medical Association, Dr. Paa Kwesi Baidoo in an interview on Kumasi-based Hello FM, thirteen (13) doctors have so far been infected but did not give further details.
He said; “About thirteen doctors have been infected on the job as of Wednesday. We shouldn’t joke with this virus. Some people think its joke or because Ghanaians are not dying we have some favour. The two weeks lockdown helped us trace contacts and most of the people are in the younger age group. Of 100 infected people in the country, 8 or 10 are in critical condition”.
“When they come we give them critical care. The efficacy of the virus depends on a persons immune systems. The few people who have died had other conditions but it doesn’t mean if you are young and have not conditions you won’t die”.
He also advised Ghanaians who are ‘joking’ with the virus to stop because ‘it is real’.
Ghana has so far recorded 1,550 cases with 11 deaths and 155 recoveries.
