Eastern Region: 3 Babies recover from coronavirus

The Kwahu West Municipal Health Directorate has confirmed that three babies who tested positive for Coronavirus have recovered.

The babies aged six-months, one and two years, tested positive but their mothers were negative.

The Kwahu West Municipal Health Director, Celestine Asante said “the six-month-old baby was among those that were tested twice before being discharged so the baby was fully recovered before the new directive of the 14 days Isolation came in so the baby is fully recovered including the one year and the two years. They have fully recovered”.

The Director has also told the media in Nkawkaw that Covid-19 cases in Nkawkaw have risen to 105 but with 34 recoveries.

She said many of the patients were asymptomatic and were therefore expected to be discharged this week, applying the World Health Organization (WHO) discharge guidelines.

Celestine Asante noted that no fatality has been recorded in the Municipality.

The Eastern Regional tally of Covid-19 cases stands at 374 as of June 22.

Ghana has recorded 14,154 accumulated confirmed cases of Coronavirus with 10,434 recoveries and 95 fatalities.
