COVID-19: Ghana Has Recorded 9 Deaths

Per what media outlets have gathered, the Ghana Health Service is supervising the completion of a backlog of laboratory samples that have been picked for testing as part of the COVID-19 testing exercise. This is after some 57,000 samples have already been successfully tested as of April 15th 2020. In the first batch of this backlog, an additional 198 have been found to be positive.

This will bring Ghana’s total case count to 834 at the moment. The general public is however advised that this does not represent new infections that are occurring. It represents results from tests of a backlog of samples.

One additional positive patient has just died making it 9 now.
