Professor Kwamena Sagoe of the University of Ghana Medical School has revealed that the latest coronavirus figures in Ghana could be a sign that the country is entering into its third wave.
Ghana has recorded 812 COVID-19 related deaths, the Ghana Health Service (GHS) announced on Sunday July 18. The active cases is 2,858 with 95,147 recoveries.
Asked whether this could mean the oil-producing West African nation is entering into the third wave, Professor Sagoe told TV3's Komla Adom on the News 360 on Sunday July 18 that "well, anything is possible".
"Definitely, the cases are going up and normally, when the cases are up, you should remember that it is not a simple summative thing, it is exponential."
"Two people will give to eight people, eight people will give to thirty, so yes, it could be the beginning of the third wave, it could also mean something else. We just have to see how things will pan out by yes."
He further stated that there are still people in Ghana who doubt the reality of the virus.
"People still don't believe in COVID and that is the problem," he said.
He added "now, the new phrase you hear is 'I have been vaccinated twice' and so generally, there is complacency, people believe it won't happen to them, others are also oblivious of what is happening around them.
