The Parliament of Ghana recorded a new case of Covid-19 over the weekend.
This came after a sitting Member of Parliament (name withheld) tested positive for the virus after being unwell for some time now.
Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak noted that the new case is an indication that the country is not out of the woods yet and must take precautionary measures.
“Even if the member of parliament who has taken the first jab is currently in quarantine in a facility because of COVID over the weekend, it means we are clearly not out of the woods yet. We need to continue observing the protocols,” the MP who is also a member of parliament’s health committee said.
He explained, “We are trying to find out how many more MPs have not taken the second jab. So, if the number is large, then probably, all those who didn’t take the second jab have to go through the test…this is one of the suggestions I am going to carry to the speaker that we may have to quickly take an inventory to see who and who have not taken the second jab and get them to re-test so we see our way clear.”
