<p>Dr. Kwame Amponsah-Achiano, the Programs Manager of the Expanded Programme on Immunization at the Ghana Health Service, has clarified that these cases are not severe.</p>



<p>Addressing the media in Accra, Dr. Amponsah-Achiano emphasized the need for a vaccination campaign to mitigate the virus&#8217;s spread, slated to commence on Sunday, May 5, 2024.</p>



<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve observed a slight increase in cases over the past week, reaching approximately 30 or 31. However, this isn&#8217;t unexpected. COVID-19 is here to stay, and as such, we remain committed to vaccination efforts. </p>

<p>From May 5th to 9th, we&#8217;ll conduct a national COVID-19 vaccination exercise as part of our strategy to minimize its impact,&#8221; Dr. Amponsah-Achiano stated.</p>



<p>The GHS has also launched a nationwide COVID-19 vaccination campaign in response to rising infections across healthcare facilities. </p>



<p>Scheduled from May 4 to May 10, 2024, the drive aims to address surges, particularly in Greater Accra, where the highest numbers have been reported.</p>



<p>Highlighting the virus&#8217;s rapid transmission, the Ghana Health Service underscores the importance of strict adherence to safety protocols.</p>



<p>Dr. Franklin Asiedu-Bekoe, Director of Public Health at the Ghana Health Service, stressed the necessity of widespread vaccination to curb transmission during a media briefing.</p>



<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve seen a few cases emerging in parts of Accra and other regions, underscoring the urgency for vaccination. </p>



<p>From May 4th to May 10th, we urge all Ghanaians to participate in the nationwide COVID-19 vaccination campaign,&#8221; Dr. Asiedu-Bekoe emphasized.</p>
