Greater Accra contributed about a third of new cases, the highest percent as usual but the region's contribution to new cases has been declining - more than half of new cases were from Greater Accra a month ago. Ashanti contributed about a quarter of new cases with Western, Central and Upper East contributing about a tenth each.
Upper East's numbers have increased substantially since our update last week - from 42 to 241 cases
Other regions recording significant increases were Savannah (from 1 case to 35 cases) and Oti region (from 28 to 97 cases).
Overall, 2,283 new cases were reported in the past week to bring the confirmed case count to 12,193 cases. With Ahafo reporting its first case, all regions now have confirmed cases. The number of confirmed cases has been rising rapidly in the past four weeks with each successive week recording a higher number of new cases than the previous one.
