Health officials in Tema say they are on high alert over a possible coronavirus outbreak in the area.

This they say is due to the influx of foreign nationals mostly Chinese who come into the country to do business at the Tema Port.

The coronavirus has claimed over 170 lives already with over 7,000 affected and many countries are on high alert for any possible outbreak.

“Influenza surveillance has always been ongoing by the public health department so we have put in structures, emergency response team, nurses, doctors and security men and others. Nationally there is a national response team to make sure that any such case will quickly be managed”

However, Associate Professor of Microbiology at the University of Health and Allied Sciences Theophilus Adiku is calling for the deployment of rapid test kits and ambulances at the country’s entry points to fast track early detection and treatment of the deadly disease.
