General Secretary of the Ghana Health Service, Dr Titus Bayuo has cautioned Ghanaians of a possible lockdown if they keep flouting the Covid-19 safety protocols.
According to him, government will have no choice than to lock the country down if the cases keep rising.
“If it comes to enforcement of law it lies within the domain of government and its security agencies in making sure people protect themselves. If we don’t take care of ourselves, and looking at the trajectory, we might have to go back to lockdown but if that can be avoided, why not,” Dr Bayuo said on Monday on the Morning Starr.
If we don’t protect ourselves and the cases keep going up, the only way is to get people restricted. Is that what we want? If that’s not what we want, then we must act now. We advised politicians right from the beginning that they should use innovative ways of campaigning. It’s just normal that when we continue to engage in such activities, we know what to expect, a boom in COVID-19 cases. My caution to Ghanaians is that by our very actions, we are pushing ourselves towards tougher restrictions [ i.e. ban on social gatherings, lockdown] and if we get there the political leaders will have no option,” he added.
