Minister of Health, Kwaku Agyeman-Manu, has said the government and himself have grown fatigued over the high number of COVID-19 cases and the sheer negligence of Ghanaians to the safety protocols.

The minister warned that Ghana’s COVID-19 condition may get difficult. He said both the President and Health officials at the forefront are already tired adding that Ghanaians must take personal responsibility to protect themselves from contracting the virus.

“If we don’t do that, the virus will continue to spread. Our positive cases continue to increase if we are not careful the positive cases will turn into critical illness. Nana Addo is tired. Those of us leading the fight are fatigued because we have done all that we could to defeat the virus but people are not adhering to the preventive protocols. So I am begging everyone to adhere to hand washing, social distancing and wearing of masks directives to help save the country some money and reduce the stress in fighting this disease,” he said.

Kwaku Agyeman-Manu also said he will be ready to use the security forces to ensure compliance.

“Some people have their masks kept in their pocket. Yesterday I caused the arrest of some people, the voluntary compliance is not working so we have to use the police to arrest and prosecute.”

Ghana’s Coronavirus case count stands at 21,077 with 129 deaths and 16,070 recoveries. Actives cases stand at 4,878.
