Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, says the enhanced tracing and testing coupled with the mandatory quarantine systems following the coronavirus outbreak are yielding results.

According to him, had the country not adopted this approach, the 274 extra will be with us and keep spreading.

“The mix of measures to aggressively go in search of it while limiting importation is the reason for which we have found 274 more cases,” he said in a tweet.
