Ghana’s first 100-bed coronavirus Isolation Centre nears completion

Works are fast underway for the construction of Ghana’s first 100-bed Coronavirus Isolation and Treatment Centre.

The facility, which will be the country’s National Coronavirus Treatment Centre, is located at the Ga East Municipal Hospital.

Currently, a joint military and civilian work force run a 12 hour shift daily to ensure that the project is completed in time.

The project is expected to be completed within six weeks, with three weeks of work having already been done.

The 100-bed Isolation and Treatment Centre is being funded from the Covid-19 Private Sector Fund.

Ghana has recorded 427 new Coronavirus cases, increasing the country's Coronavirus case count to 5127.
