One of my main concerns about Covid-19 is how common Ghanaians can protect themselves from this deadly virus. Always praying that the continent of African does not become the next epic center like South America. The confirmation of the COVID-19 Delta Variant by The Ghana Health Service (GHS) inside Accra Senior High School is very disturbing.
"The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has confirmed an outbreak of the highly transmissible COVID-19 strain, Delta variant, in a Senior High School in Accra." "The Director of Public Health at the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Franklin Asiedu-Bekoe indicated that the affected students were mostly asymptomatic and are responding to treatment." “Yesterday, we had information that the school [name not given] had actually detected a Delta variant, and this somehow confirms what we were anticipating. The parents of the students who have been infected have been informed." www.modernghana.com
As I found myself reading about how the COVID-19 Delta variant was detected and confirmed within Ghana’s population on Modern Ghana website, I became more and more concerned. Another concern for me is the weak and high cost Ghana Healthcare System. The resources and facilities are not as available as in the Western world.
