Ghana's Covid-19 case count has increased by 542 more positive cases bringing the number of confirmed cases to a total of 11,964 with 4,258 recoveries.

The total number of active cases currently stands at 7,652 with 54 deaths.

During President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo 11th address to the nation Sunday, [June 14, 2020], he said 13 people are critically ill while three others are on ventilators.

He added that it is important to follow through the efforts made to control the spread of the virus adding that people should adhere to the health protocols.

“This is how we can prevent our health care services and our heroic health care workers from being overwhelmed due to an increase in demand for hospital,” President Akufo-Addo stated.

He also urged people to avoid stigmatising recovered patients. Adding that the stigma undermines the fight against the virus.

“Our survival is in our own hands. If we are relax and inattentive, we will continue to have serious challenges with the virus. If we are mindful and self-disciplined, we have it in us to defeat this pandemic, and help return our lives to normalcy. I appeal to each and every one of you for your help in this regard.”
