University of Ghana issues COVID-19 alert amid new suspected cases

The University of Ghana Health Services Directorate has issued an alert to the university community following a resurgence in COVID-19 cases within its immediate environment.

In a statement released on June 23, 2025, the Directorate confirmed that several suspected and confirmed COVID-19 cases have been recorded.

All students, staff, and visitors have therefore been urged to be vigilant and adhere strictly to safety protocols aimed at minimising the spread of the virus, including wearing face masks in enclosed or crowded spaces; regular handwashing with soap under running water or using alcohol-based sanitizers.

The rest are maintaining a minimum of one metre distance from others; avoiding large gatherings unless necessary; ensuring good ventilation in lecture halls, offices, and meeting rooms; and staying home and seeking prompt medical attention if flu-like symptoms are experienced.

The Health Services Directorate has also reactivated its COVID-19 Response Protocols.

These include screening, triage measures at health facilities, and close monitoring of the situation. Regular updates will be issued as needed.

The alert comes at a time when global health authorities continue to monitor sporadic COVID-19 spikes in various regions.
