Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has urged Ghanaians not to be complacent about the fact that the country's COVID-19 active cases are declining.
He said complacency can cause people to be careless and that the more cases are recorded instead of recoveries, the more the active cases go up.
"But that should not be the case. We should record more recoveries and less new cases for the active case to keep declining," he said.
To achieve that he said Ghanaians need to continue following all the safety protocols.
Cumulative vs Active
Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has urged Ghanaians not to focus on the Cumulative numbers but rather on the active cases. He said the active cases which now stand at 4,270 are the ones being treated in the hospitals or monitored at home.
According to him, out of 774 treatment capacity, 299 patients are in various centres and 3372 being managed at home.

As of Sunday (19th July, 2020) Ghana's case count stood at 27,667 with 23,249 recoveries/discharge.
The death toll, unfortunately, is 148.
8 are in a critical condition while 4 remain on ventilators and 25 cases severe.

Against baa gbo.....what is your problem here? Do you wish for evil or good for the country? When the numbers were surging you these same guys complained....now that we are making some progress in the fight against the virus, you are not happy. I can "TRACE" you from Joyce Bawa Montari who also was not happy people have recovered from COVID-19 and sought to question the integrity of the health authorities. Your evil thoughts will find and harm you sooner or later. What sort of people are you koraaa?

Stop lying. Nothing is declining, it is only the figment of your imagination. You've stopped contract tracing and testing so on what basis are you saying it is declining. How many people have the disease who have not been traced and tested. Incompetent group of ediots.
Hon. Minister when are the borders going to be opened?
