A Health Analyst, Mr Kwame Sarpong Asiedu is warning that the country could record close to 30,000 cases of Covid-19 in a month’s time if drastic measures are not taken to curb the rapid spread of the global pandemic.

According to him, a lockdown can curb the increasing cases of Covid-19 in the country.

His comments come after the confirmed cases of Covid-19 in the country jumped to 53 with two deaths.

In a radio interview monitored by primenewsghana.com, today he said: If we are recording these cases and we have no intervention by the 30th day we are going to have up to 30,000 persons infected if there are no interventions. The good thing is there are interventions and is why there should be a lockdown”.
