The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association has disclosed four of its members have died of the coronavirus disease.
It has explained a total of 840 have been infected with many still battling for their lives.
“The death toll now stands at four with the recent demise of Mr Solomon Nsor, a senior staff nurse who worked at War Memorial Hospital in the Kasena Nankana Municipality of Upper East Region,” the group said in a statement.
The group, among other things, made the disclosure as they raise concerns over the disregard for the covid-19 safety protocols.
They bemoaned routine protocols at the health facilities that worked earlier for them have now all been abandoned and called for testing of all members.
