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.
