The hospital will be closed from Monday, February 22, 2021.
The decision to close down the hospital would reduce staff-clients interaction and pave way for disinfection of the entire facility to break the chain of transmission of the virus.
In a memo, management said emergency cases will be admitted.
It has also sent an advisory precaution to staff and the general public to adhere to the COVID-19 protocols to help stop the spread of the virus.
Mass testing of staff of the Savelugu Hospital has revealed that some 60 health workers at the facility tested COVID-19 positive.
