The Director-General of the Ghana Health Service (GHS), Dr. Patrick Kuma-Aboagye, has revealed that only 4 out of the 16 regions are currently battling with Covid-19 active cases.
The four are; Upper East, Bono, Ashanti and Greater Accra regions.
"The majority of the cases are in the Greater Accra Region," he said.
This implies that the regions with no active cases are Northern, Western, Volta, Eastern, Upper West, Central, Savannah, North East, Bono East, Oti, Ahafo and Western North.
According to Dr. Patrick Kuma-Aboagye, statistics show that Ghana is recording relatively low Covid-19 cases.
Speaking to the press on Tuesday, he said: "The average daily cases are less than 20. We have a weekly average of less than five. The numbers are quite low. Currently, 12 regions do not have any active cases."
He added: "We don't have anybody who is on admission, severe or critical, anywhere in Ghana so far. There has been a significant decline in the number of cases reported at the airport."
Dr. Kuma-Aboagye indicated that as of April 23, Ghana's confirmed Covid-19 cases stand at 161,172.
A total of 1,445 death cases have been recorded, he said.
