Thirty-three (33) Ghanaians have died of the novel Coronavirus in New York of the United States of America.
This was confirmed by the Ghana’s Ambassador to the United States of America Baffour Adjei Bawuah in an interview on GHOne TV .
“Quite a number of Ghanaians have been affected and indeed we have 33 people who have been verified to have died from the disease in New York alone,” he said.

He disclosed that about 300 Ghanaians of which some are on government scholarship are stranded in the US and have requested to return home.
“At the moment, about 300 people [Ghanaians] have expressed a situation where they believe that they are stranded and therefore want to come back home and…we are liaising with the US government particularly in connection with some [Ghanaian] students and some officials who came here and are stranded.”
“The students, in particular, are now living with host families and that has put a bit of pressure on these families but we are reasonably certain that by the end of this week, we would have been able to relay to the US government enough [information] for those people to be brought home,” he added.
Meanwhile, Ghana has recorded 6964 cases of the pandemic with 2097 recoveries and 32 deaths.
