The latest and new COVID-19 cases, he indicated, are being recorded from such gatherings and it is an indication for the country to reintroduce the restrictions.

The statement comes on the heels of the country confirming 658 new cases of the virus just last Thursday alone which has shot up the cumulative case count as at the time of going to press to 59,480 per the latest updates by the Ghana Health Service.

Dr Yankson further called for the reintroduction of localized restrictions in hotspots or areas where the cases are spreading more.

“We need to immediately reintroduce restrictions on all weddings, parties, funerals, and other events. We cannot allow this to continue. We should also not hesitate to introduce localized restrictions,” he said.

He warned that the situation currently is not the best and the earlier we take steps to prevent the spread, the better adding that health facilities are overstretched with pressure on medical officers.

The medical officer said if we do not take care, we will record more deaths. He again asked Ghanaians to pray for doctors and frontline health workers.
