Thirty-one coronavirus patients in Ghana have been
discharged after recovering from the disease.
Kwaku Agyemang, the country’s health minister, broke the
news during an interview with journalists on Tuesday.
The country has confirmed 161 coronavirus cases, of which
five deaths have been recorded.
Agyemang said the 31 recovered patients will be monitored
closely in their respective homes.
“We have conducted some tests and 31 persons out of the
total active cases have not shown symptoms,” he said.
“I keep on emphasising that the fatality rate in Ghana is
very low so Ghanaians should not be scared. The five persons who have already
lost their lives had underlying medical conditions.”
