The service is also entreating the unvaccinated public to get their jabs.
The Ghana Health Service earlier warned of a surge in the number of COVID-19 cases across the country and emphasised the need to observe the Coronavirus Protocols to prevent the spread.
The Director of Public Health at the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Franklin Asiedu-Bekoe urged the public to observe the protocols to prevent a new wave of infections.
“We need to use the mask especially when you are in an enclosed place because so far as you have a virus being introduced then you are at risk of getting an infection.”
“So if you are not the only one in the room and the place is enclosed, we will advise that you wear the mask,” Dr. Asiedu-Bokoe said.
Ghana currently has 1,311 active cases of the virus.
It has recorded 164,164 cases in total with 1,448 deaths.
