More foreign missions and embassies in Ghana are expected to announce, in the coming days, a suspension of their operations.

This follows the rising number of coronavirus cases in the country.

Ghana confirmed four more new cases of the CODVID 19 disease on Sunday, 15 March 2020, making it six so far.

The Netherlands Embassy, on Saturday, announced the closure of its consulate services in Ghana, indicating that its employees will work from home.

The Norwegian Embassy was the first to make such an announcement, following the confirmation that one of the first two patients recorded in Ghana was a staff.

The UNDP had also earlier on Friday announced that its employees will work from home following the confirmation that one of its staff members had contracted the coronavirus.

He had returned to Ghana from Turkey.

Some schools, particularly international ones, have already suspended their operations until further notice.
