Second wave?
Meanwhile, the Ghana Medical Association has warned of a potential hike in COVID-19 cases as political campaigns intensify ahead of the December 7 elections.
The General Secretary of the Association, Dr Justice Yankson, said in a television interview on Joy News that the rallies undertaken by the political parties had the potential of accelerating the spread of the infections.
He explained that the crowds, which he described as super-spreaders, left much to be desired in the fight against the disease.
