In view of the new Covid-19 variant, Omicron, Director of the Health Services, West Amasaman, Dr. Margaretta Chandi has advised that all Ghanaians who have not been fully immunized should do so as well as continue to adhere to the Covid-19 protocols of wearing nose mask and social distancing.
She said this in an interview with Kafui Dey on the GTV Breakfast Show, and indicated that with Christmas fast approaching, it is imperative that the public be mindful of their activities in the midst of the pandemic.
She said if people do not err on the side of caution, there is a likely chance of another lockdown following a possible 4th wave which will make it difficult to enjoy the holidays as well as make ends meet.
“I can’t afford to celebrate my Christmas if we go on a lockdown”.
“I can’t afford to celebrate my Christmas if we go on a lockdown in the season” she stated.
Dr. Margaretta Chandi advised Ghanaians to debunk all false perceptions regarding the vaccination, because the 7% of people in Ghana who have been fully immunized have not complained of any delibetating side effects.
She spoke of false reports that claim that the vaccine causes impotency.
”At least my husband has received the vaccine and nothing has happened to him”, she noted.
