Authorities at the Volta Regional Hospital in Hohoe have debunked reports of three cases of Covid-19 in Hohoe.
According to a Joy News source, the figures being circulated were taken from data in 2021, during the peak period of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.
Assurance was given that health officials have heightened surveillance and are ready to identify and act swiftly should any case be identified.
They have, therefore, entreated the public to ignore a newscard with the description “six children and 86 hospital staff have tested positive for COVID-19 in Hohoe.”
Meanwhile, the Health Minister, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has confirmed a recent spike in COVID-19 cases, with infections currently concentrated at the University of Ghana campus.
He said the cases are primarily driven by the Omicron variant. Addressing Parliament on Tuesday, July 1, Mr Akandoh disclosed that out of 316 suspected cases, 107 have been confirmed.
However, he assured the public that there have been no hospitalizations or deaths linked to the new infections.
