Presidential Advisor on Health, Dr. Anthony Nsiah-Asare says Ghana’s 68,591 tested cases include duplicate cases of testing.
Speaking on Joy News’ PM Express show, he explained that some individuals had several tests carried out on them to prove they were really cured of the virus, thus contributing to the high number of recorded tests.
There have been doubts about the number of cases tested with regards to the daily testing capacities of the two main testing centres.
Some critics have also said the Noguchi Memorial Centre for Medical Research in Accra and the Kumasi Centre for Collaborative Research, currently, the only two testing centres in Ghana, are not enough.
Speaking on PM Express, Dr Nsiah-Asare said more testing facilities were being built across the country to speed up testing and the release of results and to reduce Ghana’s backlog of about 18,000 awaiting results.
