Ghana’s power transmission company, GRIDCo, is carrying out a mass testing of its employees at 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 on 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 that appropriate measures are taken to protect the lives of those likely to have met the infected person.
