Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Patrick Kuma Aboagye has stated that the surge in Covid-19 cases is expected to go up among international arrivals.
The surge he explained is expected largely due to an anticipated increase in the number of arrivals, increase in global travels with associated risks of disease transmission.
According to him, this would be the same experience encountered during the 2020 Christmas season as well as the emergence of a new Covid-19 strain.
Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, November 28, 2021, he noted that increased activities in the country could also contribute to the surge in Covid-19 cases.
He assured Ghanaians that the Ministry of Health and the Ghana Health Service will continue to implement the protocols on international travel as currently exists.
There would also be strict enforcement of the protocols at the Kotoka International Airport and all entry points will continuously be implemented.
Aside from that, there would be increased surveillance and monitoring of new strains and persons returning from countries affected by the new variant, he added.
