false positives are better than false negatives. as long as the symptoms are mild you just tell them to stay put at home. czech republic and spain ended up buying corona tests from china with 80% not working and not identifying the positives. many countries ended up returning the faulty equipment recieved form china.

I saw from other posts from nigeria that their smartphone ownership is at 65% (perhaps its similar in ghana), so with google and apples new update that hopefully comes up, you ping with bluetooth phones near by and say hello, and if any of those phones get sick, then each phone contains the data of any smartphone that has been near by. it is about to be implemented in europe and usa. this is a software solution for getting contact tracing, hence cheap to implement once developed. not sure if it will be deployed also in ghana.

considering that ghana is still to peak the daily new cases, and has not reached the end of this wave, i would say its a bit early to lift lockdown. also when opening lockdown many countries first try opening only book shops and small shops. u dont jump into water u first test the water with ur pinky toe.

i see food has become an issue in many african countries. many would rather buy food from the little money than a mask or soap, since their daily salary is cut. this is certainly a problem. if people are not aware of the risk or unable to collectively respond to the disaster than ghana looses.

this is though just my opinion. im no expert in such matter.

I attached below the screenshot of daily recorded cases in ghana and you tell me if statistics say ghana "contained the spread".

also the logarythmic chart in cases seems to follow a linear trend now, meaning exponential growth in this pandemic, so ghana is no where near the peak.
