Director of Health Promotion, Ghana Health Service (GHS), Dr Aboagye Dacosta, has attributed the declining rate of the coronavirus infection in the country to the swift measures put in place by the government and GHS.
According to him, the government and the GHS have done well when it comes to commitment and seriousness in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic as some countries are learning from the way the health experts in the country are fighting the virus.
Speaking on Okay FM, the Chairman of Risk Communication and Social Mobilisation Committee for Ghana’s Covid-19 Response Team believes the end will justify their performance in the fight against the Covid-19 as they don’t want to be seen as though they are blowing their own trumpet.
“We have been careful in our decision in fighting this Covid-19. Every measure we have put in place, we go a step further than the ones recommended to us. Typical example is when our borders were closed, only few countries had done that at that time.

“We closed the borders and those who came were put under mandatory quarantine and we tested all of them and those who tested positive were given treatment. Government paid for all their accommodation, feeding and treatment.”
Looking at the country’s discharge policy, Dr Aboagye said that the Centre for Disease Control had adopted the policy of adding three more days to the stipulated days after someone shows no sign of the virus.
