Listen to this article Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Gradually, the globe is recovering from the deadly coronavirus pandemic and Ghana is not left out as the recovery rate over a night has been the major talk of town.

As many are doubting its authenticity, some are of the view that the ministry of health and for that matter the government in power, are massaging and concocting figures for the public consumption.

The number of recovery patients in Ghana has astronomically increased from a little above 3,000 to 10,473 after only 48 hours. This has left a lot of questions in the minds of many. Some are asking how this miraculously happened, while others are doubting the figures. Others even call it a mirage. Is this weird, acceptable, believable or should be accepted as one of the miracles from God?

Meanwhile, the president of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo confirmed it in his 12th address to the nation yesterday that authorities have changed the criteria for discharging recovered patients, reason for the boost.

A total of 85 deaths are recovered from 14,154 confirmed cases leaving 3,596 active cases to battle with. Still the Greater Accra region has recorded the highest number of cases, followed by the Ashanti region, Western region and central region respectively.
