Dr Patrick Kuma-Aboagye, Director-General of the Ghana Health Service (GHS), has disclosed that the 533 workers of a fish-processing factory in Tema who came in contact with the virus through a colleague are ‘fast’ recovering from the virus.
Speaking on the Ghana Montie program on Neat FM, Dr Patrick Kuma-Aboagye revealed that, majority of the factory workers have already tested negative for the deadly virus and will soon be discharged.
“If I tell you the number of recoveries in Tema, you will not believe. More than 80% of the factory workers have tested negative now,” he told host Kwesi Aboagye.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL) and the Tema District Council of Labour (TDCL) have called for mass Covid-19 testing at industries and companies in Tema.
The organisations believe this would prevent the recurrence of mass infection in companies operating in the industrial cum harbour city.
The unions called for the mass testing in an interview with the Ghana News Agency after 533 out of 1,300 workers of a well-known international fish processing company located in the Tema Fishing harbour enclave tested positive to Covid-19.
