Minister of Health, Kwaku Agyeman Manu has disclosed that the government will be taking deliveries of some 3.6 Million Ghana-made face masks tomorrow.
He stated that the deliveries of the locally produced nose masks as announced by the President would be received starting from tomorrow.
Speaking at a press briefing on COVID-19, the Minister of Health, Kwaku Agyeman Manu said:
“The President is making all efforts to resource the Ministry to ensure that we have adequate numbers of protective equipment. In his speech, he talked about taking the opportunity of the crisis to build local capacities to do some of these things at home.
As I speak, the Minister of Trade has selected five [local firms] to sew 3.6 million nose masks. They will start delivery from tomorrow. We will take delivery of 150,000 each day and within the next seven days or so, the whole country will be flooded with these masks, especially for health workers.”
That is a positive sign towards the fight against coronavirus.
At the moment, Ghana’s coronavirus cases has shot up almost nearing 300.
