President Nana Akufo-Addo has not tested positive for Coronavirus as being suggested by some Ghanaians.
This is according to the president’s personal physician, Dr. Patrina Takyi-Ankrah who spoke at a minister’s press briefing on Wednesday.
She said the Vice President, as well as other top government officials, have also taken the test and have all tested negative.
Some news portals earlier in March reported that President Nana Akufo-Addo and the Senior Minister, Yaw Osafo Maafo had tested positive for Coronavirus.
The publication was based on a statement by a social commentator, Kelvin Ebo Taylor who said in a televised broadcast that a source at the seat of government, the Jubilee House had indicated that the president had tested positive for the virus.
But Dr. Takyi Ankrah said close family relations of the president have also been tested and in all 99 staff at the presidency have all been tested and have been confirmed negative.
She said the tests were done based on a policy that all top officials and frontline workers dealing with issues regarding COVID-19 in the country be screened themselves.
