A new KG block constructed by Western Diamond Cement for Bokoro Basic School was inaugurated on the 20th of August 2021. Present at the programme were the General Manager of the company Mr. Dharmendra Patel, the Municipal Coordinating Director, Mr. Daniel Kanyage, the Municipal Director of Education, Mr. Mark Adateke, the chief of Bokoro, Nana Ebunnza.

Following the recent spike in the second wave of the Corona Virus (COVID-19), the Ahanta West Municipal Public Health Emergency Committee headed by the Municipal Chief Executive met with Queens, Kings, GPRTU, and key Stakeholders of the Agona Nkwanta Market to deliberate on the best practices to help curb the spread of the virus.

Ghana’s COVID-19 infection rates are skyrocketing and include new strains of the virus not before seen in the country, filling treatment centres and threatening to overwhelm the health system, President Nana Akufo-Addo said on Sunday.

Since Jan. 5, the number of active cases has risen to 1,924 from about 900, Akufo-Addo said in a speech. There are now 120 severe cases, up from 18 a week ago.

Ghana is not yet close to a peak seen during the first wave of infections in the middle of last year, but could quickly reach that level if cases keep rising at the current rate.

If they do, the president said he would impose another partial lockdown, despite worries about what that would do to one of West Africa’s largest economies.

“Our COVID-19 treatment centres have gone from having zero patients to now being full because of the upsurge in infections,” the president said. “At this current rate … our healthcare infrastructure will be overwhelmed.”

Across Africa, a second coronavirus wave is infecting twice as many people per day than at the height of last year’s first wave and has yet to peak, according to the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

The rise has raised concern across the continent where, unlike in Europe and the United States, cash-strapped governments have been unable to secure supply deals with vaccine manufacturers, putting the onus for now on containment.

Akufo-Addo said details about access to vaccines and a rollout plan would be announced “very soon”.

He said that some people arriving from abroad had tested positive for “new variants” of the virus, without giving details.

Last week, Gambia recorded its first two cases of the highly infectious coronavirus variant first found in Britain, in what appears to be the first confirmation of its presence in Africa.

“Work is ongoing to determine the presence and extent of spread of the new variants in the general population,” Akufo-Addo said.
