Ghana Reports 45 Monkeypox Cases in Worst Outbreak Since 2022

ACCRA: Ghana has reported 45 confirmed cases of monkeypox in the past month, marking its worst outbreak since 2022, Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported, citing the Ghana Health Service (GHS). While no deaths have been reported, the GHS has activated regional emergency teams to intensify surveillance, conduct contact tracing, and support case management in affected areas. Confirmed cases are being isolated, and additional resources have been deployed to bolster health system readiness. Director-General of the GHS, Prof. Samuel Kaba Akoriyea, said the cases were confirmed through laboratory tests. 'We are working around the clock to contain the spread and urge the public to report symptoms promptly and avoid close contact with anyone showing signs of infection,' Prof. Akoriyea added. He stressed the importance of good personal hygiene, avoiding contact with infected persons, and seeking immediate medical attention if symptoms appear.

Tear gas, flash-bangs and arrests as LA immigration detention centre protest turns violent

US immigration authorities extended their activity in the Los Angeles area on Saturday (local time) in the wake of protests at a federal detention facility and a police response that included tear gas, flash-bangs and the arrest of a union leader. Border Patrol personnel in riot gear and gas masks stood guard outside an industrial park in the city of Paramount, deploying tear gas as bystanders and protesters gathered on medians and across the street, some jeering at authorities while recording the events on smartphones. 'ICE out of Paramount. We see you for what you are,' a woman said through a megaphone. 'You are not welcome here.' One handheld sign said: 'No Human Being is Illegal.' The boulevard was closed to traffic as Border Patrol officers circulated through the area. ICE representatives did not respond immediately to email inquiries about weekend enforcement activities. The immigration arrests in Los Angeles came as President Donald Trump and his administration push to fulfil promises of mass deportations across the country. On Friday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested more than 40 people while executing search warrants at multiple locations, including outside a clothing warehouse where a tense scene unfolded as a crowd tried to block agents from driving away.

All snow-hit highways open, but care urged

All snow-hit state highways have now reopened in the South Island but motorists should still plan ahead and check the roads before travel, the NZ Transport Agency advises. Check state highways here State Highway 8 between Twizel and Fairlie, and SH80 between Lake Pukaki and Aoraki/Mount Cook in the Mackenzie Country were closed at 6pm yesterday as a safety measure for motorists and crews working on the roads. More snow flurries had been forecast and this, combined with snow melt and freezing temperatures, made for extremely icy conditions, the New Zealand Transport Agency/Waka Kotahi said on Saturday. The Hermitage Hotel in Aoraki Mt Cook National Park looked like a winter wonderland, blanketed in snow. The closures were lifted 10am today, but motorists were still advised to take care when travelling. Roading crews had been busy gritting and treating areas of ice on the roads. MetService said snow flurries were possible for the Lewis Pass this afternoon and more snow was expected for Porters Pass (SH73) from 3am until about 10am on Monday. Up to 4cm may accumulate above 800 metres, with lesser amounts down to 500 metres. There was plenty of snow still on the ground in Naseby in the Maniototo area of Central Otago. One resident said about 15cm had fallen by Saturday night. Other South Island highways that had been closed by snow yesterday morning were now open, but motorists were encouraged to plan ahead and check the roads before travel, the spokesman said. "Snow and ice can make travel more hazardous, and motorists should be mindful of speed, travelling distances and visibility." Chains needed on Crown Range Road The Crown Range Road linking Queenstown and Wānaka is open following heavy snow overnight on Friday, but chains still need to be carried. MetService said snow showers were expected from 8pm today until 2am on Monday, and up to 1cm may accumulate about the summit. 🥶Winter is certainly here! It's a very cold and frosty start of the day, with Wanaka at -4℃ and Taumarunui at -3℃this morning. Here are the 7am temperatures. Please note that a temperature below 3℃means frost and a temperature below -2℃ means severe frost, so watch out for… — MetService (@MetService) June 7, 2025 A spokesman for the Queenstown Lakes District Council said there were sub-zero temperatures across the district this morning and crews had applied anti-icing agent CMA has been applied to certain areas including to parts of SH6 from Frankton to Kingston and Arrow Junction, and Shotover bridge. "The roads are mostly dry across the district, however this can change around sunrise. The temperature lowers a few more degrees and could present issues for shady spots and bridge decks in particular." In Southland, another fine but frosty day was forecast for the Milford Road (SH94) area and there was ice and grit around bridges, the Milford Road Alliance advised. "Please drive with care." - ODT Online
