Meanwhile, the Director of West African Center for Cell Biology of Infectious Pathogens (WACCBIP), Professor Gordon Awandare, has noted there could be a third wave of Covid-19 in Ghana.
According to him, aside from the Alpha, the Beta and Hecta Covid-19 variants in the country, there are currently about 45 types in circulation, out of which five should be of concern.
Ghanaians are, therefore, encouraged to continue observing the safety protocols; frequent washing of hands with soap under running water, wearing of face masks, sanitising of hands and observing social distancing at all times.
Also, those who are yet to be vaccinated should ensure they do so as soon the government is able to procure more vaccines.
