The Ghana Health Service has cautioned people who have either returned or travelled to Ghana from Covid-19 hit countries and shown symptoms of the virus not to visit health facilities on their own.
Rather, such persons should call the centre for assistance on these lines; 055 2222 004 055 2222 005 or 050 9497700 or 055 8439 868.
“Do not visit any health centre/facility on your own if you have just returned from any of the affected countries, and you are exhibiting symptoms like fever, cough and difficulty in breathing,” the GHS said in a statement after neighbouring Nigeria confirmed the first case of the deadly virus in West Africa on Thursday.
“We wish to take the opportunity to reassure Ghanaians that we will continue to intensify our preparedness activities and heighten surveillance at all points of entry to ensure that all citizens are safe and secured,” the GHS said.
