Ghana Health Service (GHS) announced another 30 confirmed COVID-19 cases here on Saturday, bringing the number of confirmed cases to 408 in the country.

While four people have been discharged, eight people have died from COVID-19 pandemic, GHS added.

The Ghanaian government has introduced a raft of measures to curb the spread of COVID-19, including restrictive movement in the hotspots of the outbreak, intensive contact tracing and laboratory testing.

“These measures have resulted in a sudden increase in case detection, with a high number of cases being reported,” said GHS.
