The Minority National Democratic Congress (NDC) Caucus in Parliament has called on government to, as a matter of urgency, formulate an antigen policy and submit it to Parliament for consideration. The Minority said an antigen policy, as done in other countries, would help to determine when antigen tests are sufficient screens or if there was the need to either add PCR tests or perform PCR tests alone to elucidate the positivity or otherwise of suspected COVID-19 patients. Mr Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, the Ranking Member of Health, addressing a press conference in Parliament, urged the Government to increase testing and provide protective equipment for immigration officials to control the spread of the virus.

The Minority National Democratic Congress (NDC) Caucus has called on the government to expedite action on the procurement and deployment of covid-19 vaccines to prevent further health risks.
At an emergency press conference, the Minority complained about the delay in the arrival of the vaccines for the second dose of Covid-19 injections.
”It was expected that the vaccines would have arrived before the 28th of April so that those who had taken their first jabs could take the second jabs and those not vaccinated would get the opportunity,” Mr Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, the Ranking Member on the Committee of Health said at a press conference on Sunday in Parliament House.
