The Bolgatanga Regional Hospital has successfully treated and discharged all persons with COVID-19 at its treatment centre, the Upper East Regional Director of Health Services, Dr. Winfred Ofosu has disclosed.
The region recorded 26 positive COVID-19 cases between April and May 2020. Speaking to Citi News, Dr. Ofosu indicated that 20 out of the 26 COVID-19 patients who were quarantined for treatment at the hospital have successfully recovered and been discharged.
Meanwhile, four of the patients are under self-quarantine awaiting their second tests by close of the week and should the results turn negative, they would be declared, fully recovered.
However, two of the patients passed on before their test results came out as positive.
Dr. Ofosu bemoaned the spate of stigmatization against recovered COVID-19 persons and admonished the public to celebrate them.
Of the 26 COVID-19 cases in the region, the Ghana Health Service recorded 11 cases and the Police Service recorded seven.
