A worker at a fish-processing factory has infected 533 colleagues with coronavirus. The outbreak was reported on Friday at the industrial facility in Ghana's Atlantic seafront city of Tema.

President Nana Akufo-Addo confirmed the news in a broadcast late on Sunday as he also announced plans to extend the country's lockdown. "All 533 persons were infected by one person," he said.
