The COVID-19 Rapid Response Team of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has urged the ruling NPP Government to take steps to provide more funds and rapidly deploy more resources, to give Ghana a chance in fighting against the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to them, the only realistic window of opportunity available to Ghana to put in an effective mechanism to control the spread of the viral disease should be measured in days rather than weeks, as we race against time.
"It is about time the government should invest more resources in the COVID-19 fight because it looks like the country is losing the fight," he said.
He said most treatment centres even lack basic PPEs to provide care for the infected patients, which endangers the lives of the health professionals.
He added that with the easing of restrictions by President Akufo-Addo the government should also be ready to equip and provide more resources to fight against the Coronavirus.
"The rate at which the numbers are rising puts the country at very high risk," he added.

How to become an NDC Health Expert on Covid: 1 Watch the number of cases rising, which everyone is seeing anyway; 2 Attempt to "predict" that the cases will rise; 3 Include the fact that morbidity rates will increase (of course deduced from increasing number of cases; and 4 Hold a press conference and tell everyone about points 2 and 3.
Go way you.
Instead of playing politics with it I suggest you go and educate you constituents how to protect themselves from this condition. As for the cases they will keep going up until the average Ghanaian learns to be serious about protection. It is no politics matter. There is nothing any government can do if its people refuse to apply safety protocols.
