In less than two months, 49 health workers in the Bono East Region have contracted COVID-19, thus increasing the number of health workers who have so far tested positive to 327.
None of these health workers who have tested positive have died from the infection.
The Regional Director of the Ghana Health Service, Dr Fred Adomako-Boateng, who disclosed this described the conditions of all the 49 health workers as mild or moderate, explaining that they were being managed at their various homes.
He told the Daily Graphic that 15 persons in the region had so far died from the disease.
Dr Adomako-Boateng was, however, unhappy about the high proportion of COVID-19 cases among health workers in the region, saying “this has become a cause for concern to the regional directorate.”
