Health Minister, Kwaku Agyemang-Manu, has lifted the lid off the challenges faced by contact-tracers, working to identify persons who may have come into contact with Covid-19 positive cases.
While encouraging the general public to cooperate with health officials who are conducting contact tracing, the minister revealed that some staff who were at James Town in Accra to trace contacts were chased away by residents.
“Some of our contact-tracers were chased out when they went to Jamestown [in Accra], he revealed.
Invite them [contract tracers] in when they come; treat them nicely while they take your samples, he demanded of Ghanaians at a press briefing at Press Centre, Accra.

He continued the health ministry’s campaign for people to stay at home as much as possible, reminding the public of the need to give the required social distances while in public.
Bare in mind that anytime you come out, it is likely you’d go home with the disease. Why do you want to come out, he asks again.
