He, therefore, appealed to the media to educate the masses on Covid-19’s problems to help reduce stigma.
He said the Tamale testing center has conducted more than 300 tests, of which four were positive.
ADB Deputy Managing Director Alhaji Alhassan Yakubu Tali, who submitted the articles to the Regional Minister, said the bank promised to support the government with GH ¢ 1,000,000 to help fight Covid-19.
He said that of that amount, GH ¢ 200,000 was donated to the Covid-19 fund and the remaining GH ¢ 800,000 was used to buy some items to donate to more than 15 selected institutions across the country, including TTH and the District Hospital of Tolon. .
