The University of Ghana Health Services Directorate has confirmed a resurgence of COVID-19 cases on campus, urging members of the university community to take immediate precautionary measures.

In a statement issued on Monday, June 23, the Directorate disclosed that both suspected and confirmed cases have been reported within the university environment, prompting a reactivation of health protocols and heightened vigilance.

“All staff, students, and visitors are strongly advised to remain vigilant and strictly adhere to the recommended preventive measures to reduce the risk of infection and community spread,” the statement noted.

The Directorate emphasized key preventive practices, including the proper use of face masks—particularly in enclosed or crowded spaces—frequent handwashing with soap under running water, the use of alcohol-based hand sanitisers, and maintaining a minimum of one metre of physical distance where feasible.

It further cautioned against unnecessary large gatherings and advised the university community to ensure adequate ventilation in lecture halls, offices, and meeting spaces.

In response to the current wave, the Health Services Directorate has reactivated its COVID-19 Response Protocols, including screening and triage procedures at health facilities across the campus.

Members of the university community experiencing flu-like symptoms have been advised to remain at home and seek prompt medical attention to prevent possible spread of the virus.

The Directorate assured that it will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide timely updates as necessary.
