The Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) will close down its head offices in Accra for a fumigation exercise from today, July 8, 2020, to Friday, July 10, 2020.
This is after some workers of Ghana Cocoa Board tested positive for COVID-19 during a mass testing exercise.
According to a press release from COCOBOD on Monday, July 6, 2020, the closure “has become necessary due to the mass testing the organization is currently undertaking which has resulted in some staff members testing positive for COVID-19.”

The COCOBOD has thus urged all individuals and companies with urgent business to contact its online portal.
In a related development, The Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company Limited (BOST) on Monday, July 6, 2020, closed down its head office at Dzorwulu after 46 employees tested positive for the virus.
