COVID-19: Hospitals full as Ghana records 771 new infections and 13 deaths today

The death toll of COVID-19 in Ghana has jumped to 518 following the death of 13 more Ghanaians, the Ghana Health Service announced Saturday afternoon as hospitals and isolations centres across Ghana have seen massive increase in cases.

In total, Ghana has recorded 75,118 cases of the disease with a total of 66,846 recoveries.

Meanwhile, the Ghana Medical Association (GMA) has urged the Ghana Education Service to establish a threshold for the closure of schools in the wake of COVID-19.

The appeal comes in the wake of reports of rising cases of COVID infections in some schools in the country including Akosombo International.

“When the schools were going to be opened, we asked for a threshold to be set, but schools have been opened and still, there’s no threshold,” he said.
