Savelugu Municipal hospital partially shut down over Covid surge

The Savelugu Municipal Hospital has partially shut down its OPD services to the general public after some staff tested positive for COVID-19.

Over 60 health workers tested positive for Covid-19 after the mandatory testing.

Sources say there are still some samples at the laboratory yet to be tested.
