Stay Safe!: 12 Million Ghanaians Could Soon Be Endangered To COVID-19 —Virologist

A virologist at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Dr Michael Owusu, says close to 40% of Ghana’s population could become exposed to the deadly Coronavirus within the next couple of months if extra care is not taken.

This projection is dependent on the current trend infection rate of the viral infection also known as COVID-19, as well as the locomotion of people through commercial transport systems and negligence of the societal distancing directive from the Presidency.

In his words, he asserted:

“If you look at the infectivity of the virus, and the fact that as we speak now, because of our social structure, we still have some form of mingling ongoing…we should expect that close to 40% of people will be exposed in the next one month or two if the trend goes on as it is going because the virus spreads…very fast”.

What do you make of this?
