“In the past week or so, we were recording some significant numbers up to about 30 or 31 or so. But this is not unexpected. As we have already been saying, COVID has come to stay with us,” Dr. Amponsah-Achiano remarked.
“It is part of us. And so from time to time and that is why we also haven’t given up on vaccination and so if you are aware, from 5th to 9th May, we are going to do another exercise of COVID vaccination.”
He emphasized that the national COVID-19 vaccination exercise is part of the strategies aimed at reducing COVID-19 to the barest minimum in the country.
