Minister for Information Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has shared some measures that China the epicentre of the Coronavirus have adopted in slowing the rate at which the epidemic is spreading.

Mr Oppong Nkrumah at a press briefing said the Permanent Mission of the People’s Republic of China to the United Nations has been sharing with the rest of the world how they are conquering the virus.

“The Permanent Mission of the People’s Republic of China to the United Nations has given the world great lessons on how they are conquering the coronavirus. The first is early detection, which we in Ghana have also put in a system like that, early reporting, which again we have done in Ghana by introducing phone lines and online platforms, early isolation as you know even the first our first two cases are been treated in isolation. The other very important part of what he shared was mobilizing the general public and that is why we want every Ghanaian to help fight this,”.

Meanwhile, the Director of Public Health at the Ghana Health Service (GHS), Dr Badu Sarkodie says confirmed cases of coronavirus in Ghana remains 7.
