14 people have tested positive for coronavirus among 7,461 residents identified and tested through contact tracing.
A total of 15,384 persons have been tested and the results of over 7,000 of them were made available on Tuesday, April 7.
Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah confirmed that 14 have tested positive for coronavirus at a press briefing in Accra.
“Out of the 15,384 samples that are being process, 7,461 have been tested so far, and 14 (0.18 percent) have tested positive”, he said.
This figure is part of the newly recorded Covid-19 cases in the country which has taken Ghana’s confirmed cases to 287.
The minister urged citizens to be calm because the process could mean an increase in number of cases.
“That is why we continue to encourage people that do not get alarmed when you see the raw case count numbers go up.
“It is because we are aggressively going out there now in search of the virus, we will find these numbers. The more numbers we find the better we are for the health service to provide care for those who are sick. Please do not be alarmed,” he said.
