A statement by the Chief Executive Officer Joseph Boahin Aidoo said the COVID-19 cases were uncovered after the organisation embarked on mass testing.

Effective Wednesday, July 8, to Friday, July 10, the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) will close down its head office in Accra for fumigation exercise.

“This has become necessary due to mass testing of staff carried out by the company at the head office in the wake of a staff of the IT department testing positive for the virus. After the mass testing, a number of staff tested positive and arrangements are being made for their treatment.”
