  In the midst of pandemic for respiratory illness, the call for
non-pharmaceutical interventions become the highest priority for infectious
disease and public health experts, while the race towards vaccine or medical
intervention are ongoing. Individuals may modify their behavior and take
preventative steps to reduce infection risk in the bid to adhere to the call by
government officials and experts. As a result, the existence of relationship
between the preliminary and the final transmission rates become feeble. This
study evaluates the behavioral changes (mitigation and suppression measures)
proposed by public health experts for COVID-19 which had altered human behavior
and their day to day lives. The dynamics underlying the mitigation and
suppression measures reduces the contacts among citizens and significantly
interfere with their physical and social behavior. The results show all the
measures have a significant impact on the decline of transmission rate.
However, the mitigation measures might prolong the elimination of the
transmission which might lead to a severe economic meltdown, yet, a combination
of the measures show a possibility of rooting out transmission within 30 days
if adhered to in an extreme manner. The result shows a peak period of infection
for Ghana ranges from 64th day to 74th day of infection time period.
