General News of Monday, 8 February 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comChange in weather not too drastic to affect coronavirus cases - Dr. AnabahDr. Thomas Winsum Anabah, the Executive Director for the ACH-PRA“We have not had a terrible change in weather like in Europe to say that the weather has changed to favour the coronavirus cases we are recording.” That is the assertion of Dr Thomas Winsum Anabah, the Executive Director for the Africa Center for Health Policy, Research Analysis, on the suspicions that Ghana’s rising case count could be attributed to the change in weather. He said that while there could be a possibility, it falls within the smallest margins because the temperatures now are not any different from when the country recorded its first coronavirus cases in 2020. “The change in weather could be a reason, however, the change is not drastic. You know the cold weather favours the virus because it has a lipid cover that is very susceptible to high temperatures. We have not had a terrible change in weather like in Europe to say that the weather has changed to favour it,” he stressed.
