The Ghana Health Service, GHS has revealed that the country is now at its peak of Covid-19 infections.

The GHS at a press briefing today, May 5 said the country will likely begin to see a decline in cases soon.

The Director of Public Health at the service Dr Badu Sarkodie said base on the contact tracing and testing being done by the country it seems we are at the peak of the infection.

“The people that are under quarantine and out of the 1,030 within a short time we had 115 of them, those in quarantine in Accra and Tamale so you realise with a sharp rise and now with the cases that we are testing clearly we seem as a country to be on top of the peak.”
