The data does not support a total lockdown at this point- Professor Fred Binka

Fred Binka, Professor of Epidemiology has dismissed the call for a total lockdown at this point. He has however called for the continuous lockdown of Greater Accra and Greater Kumasi.

Professor Binka was reacting to the upliftment of the partial lockdown imposed by the president three weeks ago.

“The data does not support a total lockdown at this point. However, we have enough data that clearly shows the geographic hot spots. These hot spots need to be locked down and testing aggressively done to isolate infected cases nationwide. This is therefore not the right time to ease lockdown in Accra or any other hot spot for that matter”.  he said.

What do you make of this?
