This means the total confirmed COVID-19 cases in Ghana still stands at 152 with five deaths.
All the five (5) that succumbed, according to the Ghana Health Service, “had underlying chronic medical conditions prior to the COVID-19 infection”.
It said the number of patients who have recovered and been discharged still stands at two, “while two others are awaiting laboratory results to inform decision on discharge”.
