Ghana's active cases have increased to 2174 with 366 new cases according to the Ghana Health Service (GHS).
Six new deaths have been recorded taking the tally to 358.
President Akufo-Addo in his 22nd national update on the fight against the pandemic indicated that per data from the GHS, 200 new cases of COVID infections are recorded daily.
"Particularly worrying is the fact that the Ghana Health Service is recording, on the average, two hundred (200) new cases of COVID infections daily. The number of patients requiring hospitalization and intensive care is rising. The number of severe cases, which stood at eighteen (18) a week ago, has increased sharply to one hundred and twenty (120). Two weeks ago, there was no critical case, we now have thirty-three (33) in our treatment facilities" the President said in his address.
He advised Ghanaians to abide by the safety protocols; adding if the cases continue shooting up, he would have no option but to 'reimpose restrictions'
