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.

Sen. Andrew Lanza (New York Senate website)
Lanza, a former assistant district attorney in Manhattan, represents a district encompassing most of Staten Island, and is one of the few elected Republicans left in New York City.
The appointments follow a Nov. 3 election that that seemed promising for Senate Republicans in the immediate aftermath, but after absentee ballots were counted over the course of weeks, resulted in Democrats in fact picking up three seats, and gaining a history veto-proof majority of 43 out of 63.
Lanza gives leadership of the GOP conference a downstate presence; he replaces state Sen. Joe Griffo, who represents a Utica-area district, and recently stepped down as deputy. The leader of the conference, Robert Ortt, hails from a Western New York district.
