The Chairman of the opposition NDC’s COVID-19 Response Team has said from the look of things, the number of confirmed cases will spike quickly.
Ghana has, so far, confirmed fifty-three cases of which two patients have died.
Mr Prosper Bani told journalists at a press conference in Accra on Tuesday: “First of all, the government’s technical committee must be elevated into a crisis management team to reflect that it is no longer an ordinary technical committee but that it is a committee made up of all sectors of the economy, to address the crisis that confronts us today.”
“Today, we have the number 52 [the number increased by one later in the day]. From all my assessment and the conversation with the NDC technical team, there is an expectation that his number will rise, and it will rise very very fast”, he projected.
“So”, he said: “Be prepared for the rough ride”.
“I can also tell you that this condition will worsen before it gets better if we put our acts together.
“It is doable if we work as a team; if we work collectively and as one nation with one objective leading to the same solution,” he added.

Frankly Prosper Bani said nothing. We know that the numbers are rising but how fast we don't know. This is because testing is focused on those arriving from abroad and it is sensible thing to do by the Government. However, for Bani to say that it is going to grow faster is merely speculating and trying to put unnecessary fear into people. Where is his modelling evidence? Show us your evidence and analysis. This guy was a Secretary to the President and later a Minister and it is astonishing to hear him say these things. Bankrupt of ideas. Deadwoods - and Mahama call them experts. How?
We are already aware response team, the team set up by the government has already told us and the competent government is putting measures and structures in place for that, were you not the same people who said the government should repatriate Ghanaians back from China, you see your incompetence level, if the government had listened to you (NDC) by now we will be in a total lockdown due to number of infections, you don't know anything so please response team keep your ideas to yourself, this is not time for politics human lives are at stake, just ***barred word***
