Western Region reportedly had 43 health workers testing positive, while the Eastern and Ashanti Regions have recorded 15 and 30 cases respectively. The increase in rate of infection among healthcare workers has mostly been attributed to inadequate and appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE’s) including face masks, gloves, gowns, aprons, goggles, face shields etc.
