“Ghanaians are always looking at the COVID-19 dashboard. When the cases are going up, then they start adhering to the protocols. When the cases started going up in January and February, a lot of people started wearing the mask but now that the cases are going down, people have stopped wearing the mask. It is not unique to Ghana, but it’s about human beings’ perception of risk when they think that the risk is minimal then they struggle to adjust to doing the right things,” he said.
Adding that “During this Easter period, we are hoping that Ghanaians will not let down their guards. So we are calling on all of us to adhere to the protocols.”
Cumulatively, Ghana has recorded over ninety-thousand COVID-19 cases with over seven hundred deaths since last year.
