Health officials are urging the public to stay vigilant, follow hygiene protocols, and report any suspected symptoms to healthcare providers as soon as possible.

The Ghana Health Service has also stepped-up public awareness campaigns and is working closely with local health facilities to ensure they are prepared to handle potential cases.

Dr. Dennis Laryea, Deputy Director of Public Health at the Ghana Health Service in an interview with Citi News noted that all identified contacts are being closely monitored.

“We had the outbreak in Western North, but I think it has been contained. There was one case confirmed in the Greater Accra Region, the region has done their investigations, and so far, we haven’t confirmed any case even among the contacts.

But we’re still following them up to determine if anybody develops symptoms.

The case was confirmed last week, the person is quite very well. That has been handled.

“But sometimes when you get these cases, you want to be double sure that there are others out there that we haven’t picked.

And so, the region is working with the district to make sure that they have been able to follow all the contacts,” he said.
