The Ghana Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists has appealed to the government to reconsider the punishment meted out to people who flout COVID-19 rules.
Public Relations Officer of the Association, Dr. Dennis Adu-Gyasi says the punishment is excessive and may also end up congesting the country s prison and eventually aid in the spread of the deadly disease.
Though it is very important for the government to ensure that Ghanaians comply with the COVID-19 protocols, it is also very important to ensure that it does not increase astronomically.
Speaking on
Ade Akye Abia program, Dr. Adu-Gyasi explained that
there is the possibility that those who will flout COVID-19 protocols may not be able to pay for the fine and may end in prison.
