Fear grips Asamankese residents as health officials ‘fail’ to isolate covid-19 patient

-

There is fear and anxiety at Pabi, a village near Asamankese in the Lower West Akyem Municipality of the Eastern region, following failure by health officials to isolate a patient who has tested positive to COVID-19. The case was recorded three days ago.

The patient, residents claim, is still living with her family in a two-bedroom house.

This, according to residents, is putting their lives in danger since the virus, according to health experts, spreads through contacts.
