"The majority of the cases are in the Greater Accra Region," he said.

He added: "We don't have anybody who is on admission, severe or critical, anywhere in Ghana so far. There has been a significant decline in the number of cases reported at the airport."

A total of 1,445 death cases have been recorded, he said.
