Two patients of COVID-19 in the Hohoe Municipal Hospital of the Volta Region have recovered, officials told the Ghana News Agency on Tuesday.
They are a 22-year-old pregnant woman who returned to Hohoe from Ashaiman and was delivered of a baby and a 32-year-old man who returned from Tema to Hohoe, who were both diagnosed and confirmed positive on April 12, 2020.
Dr Pius Mensah, the Medical Superintendent of the Hohoe Municipal Hospital and Acting Municipal Director of Health, said the two were discharged and “are back into their various communities.”
He said results of samples taken from the patients on the 14th day from the day of taking the first samples tested negative, necessitating a final test, which was taken after two days and results were also negative.
Dr Mensah said though there was some level of immunity following the infection, scientists were still researching into how long the immunity lasted hence recovered patients were expected to follow all the necessary precautions, adding that; “recovered cases can be re-infected”.
