Ghana’s power transmission company, GRIDCo, will from today, Wednesday, July 8 begin a mass testing of its employees at the head office in Tema for the novel coronavirus after a staff of the company tested positive for the contagious disease.

According to GRIDCo, it was informed last Monday that a staff at its Tema office had tested positive for COVID-19.

The company’s Covid-19 Management team has, thus, started a comprehensive contact tracing process within the company and elsewhere in order to ensure appropriate measures are taken to protect lives of those likely to have met the infected person.

In line with this, a decision has been taken to undertake mass testing of all staff who have been to the Tema office enclave since Monday, June 15, 2020.

“This will enable us to immediately identify, isolate and treat employees who may test positive.

“The company urges all staff to continue to adhere to the Covid- 19 safety protocols,” the company said in a Memo to staff.
