It comes days after four additional cases were confirmed Sunday after the initial two that were recorded last Thursday.

So far, a total of 143 suspected cases have been tested for COVID-19 by the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR) and Kumasi Centre for Collaborative Research (KCCR).
