Speaker of Parliament Alban Sumana Bagbin has directed that Members of Parliament(MPs) undergo compulsory testing for COVID-19 to help reduce the spread of the deadly disease.
The directive comes days after some notable persons in society lost their lives to the deadly disease.
“All members of Parliament are accordingly requested to avail themselves for this important medical screening exercise scheduled as follows – Wednesday 20th to Friday, January 22, 2021. COVID-19 is real and deadly, at the end of the day if we find out that a member or some members haven’t gone through the screening we’ll advise ourselves as to what to do,” the Speaker directed.
Meanwhile, out of the total confirmed cases of 58,431, some 55,899 persons have either recovered or been discharged.
But Ghana’s active COVID-19 cases stand at 2,174 with the country’s death toll sitting at 358.
