Common to humans, and mainly in spiritual and conventional societies, a conventional priest has attributed the purpose of deaths at Tema Manhean to a curse on the community, for which cause he has advised the citizens to carry out non secular baths within the sea to cleanse themselves.

The outbreak smoldered for weeks, subsequently multiplying, with transmission spilling into wider areas than may be contained. It's miles with this experience in our minds that we call on the Ministry of Health and the Ghana health provider to take a cue and work assiduously to get to the bottom of the motive of deaths.
In the meantime, we particularly commend the fitness authorities for the timely manner in which they've answered the problem. With our fairly weak health gadgets, we should no longer go away with something too dangerous to be overwhelmed by using occasions. We know it's far extra difficult to deal with unusual and surprising illnesses.
We do also comprehend the extent of social and monetary upheaval that has observed the outbreak of illnesses around the arena, especially how swiftly they might move once they reach the city and densely populated regions.
