Making analysis on the graph during the Ministry of Information press briefing on Thursday, Dr. Sarkodie, noted that based on the data available, the country is not expecting to record such quantum of large cases in a single day.
“If that assumption will come to pass it depends on how the masses observe the preventive etiquette”, he said.
He further explained that “the first two samples were taken on the 10th of March and they became positive. It was a build-up getting to the end of April and then we have been coming down gradually. That’s what we meant being peaked”.
