Dr. John Amuasi, a Senior Research Fellow, Global Health and Infectious Diseases Research Group, believes a new variant of the covid-19 is responsible for the recent surge in cases and increased deaths.
He has urged the government to set routine surveillance sites across the country to better assess the situation.
Speaking on the
Citi Breakfast Show, Dr. Amuasi said the testing needed to be “randomly done on a regular basis every day or every two to three days so that we can truly measure our rate of spread.”
