The Savelugu Municipal Hospital in the Northern Region has announced that the hospital will on February 22, 2021, undergo a 2-week partial close-down due to a surge of COVID 19 infections in the Municipality.

A memo sighted by this reporter indicates that the reason for the closure is to afford the hospital space for a disinfection exercise to take place.

“The hospital shall render only emergency services" the statement added.

This according to the memo will enable the hospital to reduce staff-client interaction and pave way for the disinfection of the place, in other to break the chain of transmission.

They, therefore, entreat the general public to remain calm and co-operate with the management of the hospital.
