The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has announced that Ghana has recorded 21 new COVID-19 cases.
In an interview with Accra-based United Television, Dr. Patrick Kumah Aboagye indicated that COVID-19 is not over.
According to him, the number has reduced to 18, but people are still prone to the disease if they have not been vaccinated.
"COVID-19 is not over yet, and we do not want the numbers to increase. We have decided to vaccinate people across the country. The problem with the vaccine is that people below 14 years can't take the vaccine, and they constitute about 25% of the population.
"We have decided to undertake a campaign in May, June, and July so that we can get more people vaccinated. The 21 people who are infected are not only in Accra; we recorded some cases in the Bono Region.
"I think there are no cases from the Northern part of Ghana. When we discovered the 21 cases, that was when we realized that we need to do more because there could be more cases in the system," he said.
