A University of Ghana student has reacted to news of the resurgence of COVID-19 cases on the school campus.
According to the UG student, the University authorities are lying as they just want to find a way to cancel the enjoyment on campus.
Speaking in an interview, the UG student stated, “They are lying, I think they want to cancel the enjoyment on campus, that is all. They just want to cancel the enjoyment on campus, the Hall weeks, departmental weeks and things”.
However, the University of Ghana, on Monday, June 23, announced a resurgence of COVID-19 cases on its campus.
The university announced an immediate suspension of all social events, encouraging students and staff to observe all COVID-19 preventive measures.
On Thursday, June 26, a statement released by the university’s health directorate revealed that suspected and confirmed cases had been recorded, leading to a revival of internal health protocols.
Speaking on Citi Eyewitness News, Dr. Franklin Asiedu-Bekoe, the Director of Public Health at GHS, stated, “COVID never left. COVID has been with us since 2020. Somewhere last year, the Director-General of WHO said COVID is no longer an issue of emergency, but we never said COVID is gone. If it were, the WHO would have declared an end to the pandemic.
“This is not the first time we have recorded the virus in recent weeks. But due to complications from close contact at such events, we’re now seeing more noticeable cases.
What happened was that there was this hall week celebration, and because we have a cluster of students, one of them who have had the virus must have caused the spread of the virus, but I want to put in context that covid never left and this is not the first time we are getting the virus. What we need to do is go back to the protocols to contain it,” he said.
