Coronavirus: Eastern Regional Hospital suspends all major surgeries

-

The Management of the Eastern Regional Hospital in Koforidua says the facility will now attend to only emergencies, adding that all elective surgeries are on hold until further notice.

This was contained in a release signed by the Acting Director of the hospital, Dr Cardinal Newton. Visitors have been limited to two persons per patient while visiting time remains unchanged.

It further advised the public to continue with hand washing practices, use hand sanitisers and desist from handshaking and touching of faces.

It, however, refuted claims making rounds on social media that the facility has confirmed two cases of coronavirus and urged the public to disregard such falsehood.
