13 Doctors Test Positive For Coronavirus

The Ghana Medical Association, GMA, has said that 13 doctors have tested positive for coronavirus in Ghana.

The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the GMA, Paa Baidoo, said this on Tuesday in Accra.

Baidoo blamed the development on the poor distribution of Personal Protective Equipment to health facilities across the country in the fight against COVID-19.

“The virus affects virtually everybody, with no respect for the rich, poor, educated, or non-educated, including our healthcare professionals; nurses, pharmacists, and administrators,” he said.

Although there are other risks of exposure, he said medical professionals faced an all-time high challenge of inadequate PPE due to an improper mode of distribution.

He said that this endangered the lives of healthcare workers.

As of Tuesday, the Ashanti region has 69 cases, the second-highest number of people infected in a region by COVID-19 in the country.
