Ghana’s active COVID-19 cases have seen a marginal increase after what seemed to be the near decline of the virus in the country.

Per the latest update given by the Ministry of Health, 589 people currently have the virus in the country.

Three persons confirmed to be with the virus are said to be in critical condition with two of them currently on ventilators.

The new information has started the debate of a ‘second wave’ of COVID-19 in the country as case number have increased marginally in the last 2 weeks.

Meanwhile, only five out of the country’s 16 regions are without active cases.

These are the Oti, North East, Northern, Savannah and Upper West regions.

Greater Accra has the most number of active cases; 378, followed by arrivals at the Kotoka International Airport, 78, before the Bono and Ashanti regions with 37 and 18 active cases respectively.
