0 The University of Ghana Health Directorate has issued a fresh COVID-19 resurgence alert, signalling concerning cases and a need for precautionary measures.
The notice was issued on Monday, June 23, as the tertiary institution braces to forestall any escalation, indicating “a few suspected and confirmed cases reported in our immediate vicinity”.
The directive, aimed at students, faculty, staff, and visitors, urges heightened vigilance and adherence to public health protocols to curb a potential spread that could disrupt academic and social life.
The alert comes as a stark reminder that despite the global relaxation of most COVID-19 restrictions and Ghana’s relatively stable epidemiological situation for much of 2024, the virus remains a persistent threat.
Specific numbers were not immediately disclosed in the advisory, but the university is taking steps to ensure that the over 50,000 students and thousands of staff are protected.
The University of Ghana Health Directorate’s release emphasises the immediate activation of its public health response mechanisms, as it provided contacts for information and suspected cases.
