Head of Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR), Prof Kwabena Annan, says it is not safe to celebrate this year’s Kwahu Easter festivity, following the rise of Coronavirus cases in the country.
Speaking Tuesday on Agoo FM, Prof Kwabena Annan said “we all know the importance of tourism but I am not sure Kwahu Easter is important than preventing the spread of Covid-19. People from different areas will troop to the area, if care is not taken, we will start another wave again.
“Uncontrolled movements and interactions are the major cause of the spread so I will advise that, we should suspend the Kwahu Easter Festival and get serious over the fight against Covid-19,”
Prof Annan also advised passengers not to talk unnecessarily to reduce serious exposure, adding that when we adhere to the protocols the call to reduce the number of passengers would not be considered.
He said the call for a reduction of passengers, closure of schools may collapse the economy which is dangerous to the nation.
According to him, the most important thing to do as a nation is to adhere to the COVID-19 protocols, adding “it is the key to the fight against the virus, any country that will fail to do so will suffer.”
