FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: GHANA CONFIRMS TWO CASES OF COVID-19
Fellow Ghanaians, the Ministry of Health has confirmed two cases of COVID-19. The cases were confirmed on the 12th March 20120 and the first cases to be reported in Ghana.
Laboratory results of the two confirmed cases were received at the same time from the Noguchi Memorial Institute For Medical Research.
Both individuals returned to Ghana from Norway and Turkey. So these are imported cases of COVID-19.
Both patients are currently kept in isolation and are stable. We have initiated processes for contact tracing.
I wish to assure all Ghanaians that the Government of Ghana together with all Health Partners will continue to work assiduously to ensure the situation is contained.
