Ghana on Saturday, January 23, recorded 635 new cases of Covid-19.
The newly recorded cases on Saturday only fell less by 23 cases of the new 658 active cases recorded on Friday, January 22. This pushes the number of active cases recorded in two days to 1,293.
Total active cases according to the Ghana Health Service on its website has now ballooned to 2,799.
The number of cumulative case count has also risen to 60,115. Clinical recoveries from the infection have increased to 56,955.
No new death had been recorded as of Saturday.
Many have attributed the surge in the country’s situation to the political rallies and walks organised by the two major parties, NPP and NDC before and during the December 7 elections.
The law enforcement agencies went to sleep on the mandatory wearing of nose masks directive by the government.
Ghanaians were on free range as radio and tv campaigns on regular handwashing, hand sanitising and social distancing stopped abruptly.
The covid-19 new variant which is more deadly has awaken the ‘sleeping’ government as many have described, to begin aggressive enforcement of the safety protocols including several arrests of persons without nose masks in public places.
