Ghana's virus cases spike 10 days after lockdown is lifted

Confirmed coronavirus cases in Ghana have surged above 2,000, increasing 24% in a matter of days, health officials announced Thursday, reflecting mostly test taken during a recent three-week lockdown in the West African country's two largest cities. African nations have now reported more than 37,400 cases, including 1,598 deaths, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. In South Africa, which has the continent's highest number of reported cases at 5,350, community health workers continued testing in Johannesburg.
