Management of the Savelugu Hospital in the Northern region has called for calm following the partial closure of the facility after 64 workers of the hospital tested positive to covid-19.

The situation has forced management to take such actions to contain the situation.

The partial closure takes effect from today, Monday, February 22, 2021, and is expected to last for two weeks.

In a memo announcing the decision, the hospital saidthis decision is necessary to reduce staff – clients interaction and pave way for disinfection of the entire Hospital to break the chain of transmission”.

However, emergency cases will be admitted.

This means non-emergency cases will have to be referred to nearby facilities for attention.
