It added that Gombe and Kano states recorded one case each.

The centre noted that 164,369 people recovered from the virus after successful treatment at isolation centres, while 2.3 million samples were tested from the country’s rough population of 200 million.

According to it, the country still has more than a thousand active cases being managed in line with its guidelines across isolation centres.

It added that a multi-sectoral national emergency operations centre, activated at Level 2, had continued to coordinate national response activities.

NAN observes that the country appears to have weathered the storm in the management of the pandemic, reporting less than 100 cases per day averagely in almost two months.

However, health experts believe it’s not safe for citizens to let their guard down on safety protocols.

Meanwhile, Ghana confirmed a community infection of the Delta variant of the Coronavirus on Friday, the Ministry of Information said.

The Ghana Health Service informed the COVID-19 Task Force on Friday that the Delta Variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus had been recorded within a community in the latest round of genomic sequencing,” said the ministry in a statement.
