Thirty people have succumbed to the novel coronavirus in seven days, that is according to the Ghana Health Service (GHS).

The Health Service’s update on Friday, July 30, stated the death toll was 844.

But latest update available on the website shows 30 more deaths as of Thursday, August 5, 2021, bringing the total to 874.

Considering this, a Virologist, Dr Michael Owusu, has asked authorities to ensure stricter enforcement of the Covid-19 protocol to break the chain of infection.

Meanwhile, the Ghana Health Service has warned Ghana could experience a severe third wave driven by the Delta variant if there is non-adherence to the protocol.

Cumulatively, Ghana has confirmed 108,226 cases, while 6,969 of them are active cases, 100,383 people have recovered.
