As of today 19th April 2020, confirmed coronavirus cases in Ghana have jumped to 1042 with 99 Recoveries and 9 deaths.
According to the Ghana Health Service Website mandated for COVID 19 updates, these new increase in cases is not as a result of new infection but a backlog of testing samples.
Regions that have reported cases still remain the Greater Accra, Ashanti, Eastern, Northern, Volta, Upper East, Upper West, Central, Western and North East regions.
Also, in other related development, the President Nana Akufo Addo in his 7th Address to the nation has lifted the 3 weeks partial lockdown on Greater Accra Region and larger parts of Kumasi.
However, despite the ban lifted Ghanainas are still mandated to ensure precautionary measures such as social distancing, wishing of hands with soap under running water, wearing of nose mask among others.
Also, the number of recoveries is expected to increase this week as over 100 persons will be taken through the standardized and internationally approved method by which to confirm a person has fully recovered from the virus.
