New recovery policy jeopardizing fight against COVID-19 – NDC
Jul 14, 2020
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has accused the government of endangering the lives of Ghanaians by reviewing the COVID-19 recovery and discharge policy of the country.
According to the NDC, the country is fast losing the fight against the virus because of the failure of the Nana Akufo-Addo-led government to put in place the right measures to safeguard the lives of Ghanaians.
The new WHO discharge policy announced about a month ago among other things indicated that persons with COVID-19 who are asymptomatic will be discharged without another test, 10 days after the initial positive test.
Ghana has since adopted the policy but has put the number of days until discharge at 14 days.
However, while addressing the press in Accra today, Monday, National Communication Officer of the NDC, Sammy Gyamfi said the adoption of the new discharge policy is part of the reasons the country is losing the COVID-19 fight.
“Government’s review of our recovery and discharge policy from two (2) mandatory tests to zero (0) as a result of the lack of test kits, isolation facilities, among others, is partly responsible for our ever-worsening situation. We hold the view, that the new recovery and discharge policy under which persons who have tested positive for the virus are declared as recovered and discharged when they become asymptomatic without any confirmatory tests, is very dangerous, and has the potential to further jeopardize our already-failing COVID-19 fight.”
