The global number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 has surpassed 100,000. Before 12th March 2020, there was no confirmed case in Ghana, although some countries in the sub region (Nigeria, Togo, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Senegal) with strong cultural and economic ties to Ghana had confirmed cases. Last week, the World Health Organization (WHO) reminded all countries and communities that the spread of this virus can be significantly slowed or even reversed through the implementation of robust containment and control activities.
Ghana has confirmed two cases of COVID-19 later on Thursday March 12, 2020, being the first cases to be reported in the country.
The Minister for Health disclosed in a press statement that the two confirmed cases were received at the same time from the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research.
