Coronavirus cases in the Western Region have shot up to nine as of Monday, April 27, 2020.

The eight new cases bring the total number in the region to nine.

Sources at the Western Regional Health Directorate told GBC’s Radio Ghana News in Sekondi that six cases were recorded in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis. Five of these cases are returnees who live in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis while the other one has no travel history.

The two other confirmed cases were recorded in the Nzema East Municipality, Axim to be precise.

The Western Region had its first confirmed COVID-19 two weeks ago from a Chinese national who works with Coastal Quarry Company in Shama.

These, according to the source, are new cases and have nothing to do with the contact tracing of the Shama incident which was the Regions first case for which results are pending.
