Kwebanna, Barima-Waini (Region One) in under a 14-day lockdown to curb the outbreak of COVID-19 after a surge in cases there.

 

Minister of Health Dr. Frank Anthony told the Department of Public Information that persons who require quarantining would be isolated in one of the public buildings or be taken to Santa Rosa, where a facility has been set up to administer treatment.

The Government, he said, is monitoring positive cases to detect and treat persons whose symptoms may worsen, necessitating the need for respiratory support.
