Covid burial

12 more COVID-19-related deaths recorded in Ghana
Twelve more persons have succumbed to the
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Ghana pushing
the death toll to 494.

The country has also recorded 554 additional cases
since the last update on Wednesday, February 10,
2021. Currently, Ghana has 6,948 active COVID-19
cases.

The Greater Accra Region leads with the highest
number of active cases accounting for 3,741
infections.

Ashanti Region holds the second-highest number
with 1,256 active cases followed by the Western
Region with 582 cases.

Central, Eastern and Volta Regions also have 298,
262 and 248 active cases respectively.

While over 73,000 persons have so far been
infected since Ghana recorded its first COVID-19
cases in March 2020, over 66,000 of that number
have recovered and have been discharged.

In the meantime, 113 persons are in severe
conditions and 29 in critical conditions.

This information was captured on the Ghana Health
Service’s COVID-19 dashboard on Thursday,
February 11, 2021.

Lack of adherence to the COVID-19 safety protocols
has largely been cited for the upsurge in COVID-19
cases in Ghana.

President Nana Akufo-Addo recently directed the
Inspector General of Police to ensure that
Ghanaians complied with the wearing of nose masks
directive in a bid to curb the further spread of
the virus.

He also re-introduced restrictions on social and
other gatherings.

So far, all the 16 regions in Ghana have recorded
cases of the virus.
