The Director of Public Health at the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Frank Bekoe stated that efforts are underway to manage the cases and prevent the outbreak from escalating.

“So we have 37 confirmed cases from Ada East, and then six confirmed cases in Ada West. For us, we are looking at mortalities. I think that since the outbreak started, we have had two mortalities. And what we are doing is that we are trying to make sure that we identify the cases quite early and identify the contacts and follow them up and that is what we have been doing in our circumstances” he noted.
