Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has indicated that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was under a 14-day observation after his recent trip from Norway, hence the delay of his Coronavirus test.
According to him, the president was immediately tested for the virus by his doctors, after the introduction of enhanced testing, which was adopted by the government.
He told Citi News that, “Akufo-Addo wasn’t tested when he came back… a day before his birthday was when the enhance testing programme etc had started…At first, what we were doing was just observation, we were not doing this aggressive testing, as we have started that is how come the president and his close associates, secretariat staff, etc have been tested."
Dr Patrina Tekyi-Ankrah, the president's physician told the media in Accra that, the president's results, as well as his immediate family and members of his secretariat, were negative for coronavirus.
Ghana's coronavirus case has increased to 204 as of Thursday, April 2, 2020.
Deaths toll remain five across the affected five regions - Greater Accra, Ashanti, Eastern and Western regions.

This akologo thing is here too. You are a lair. How can anyone use scientist and traditional herbs to develop a vaccine? Are stuuuupid? Do you know what a vaccine is? And you saying they are mashing Ethiopian scientists and herbs together to produce a vaccine or what? And you Akologo are a big f00000l to be questioning why there should be prayers. It is you brain that is closer to the Sun that is why you think the way you do.
why
What do you want hear from the president's test? Do you want to hear he tested positive! Why do we destroy ourselves because of politics. Let us believe in our leaders they are at the helm of affairs. We can't have 2 administration therefore let all endeavour to rally round and fight this beast of the east. Covid 19
Are you a minister of INFORMATION or minister of MISINFORMATION. Leadership is by example, why did it take the president long time to be tested when majority of the citizens expressed concern over his health. If you tell lies you follow with inconsistencies and if you are truthful and very honest with your self there is no room for speculation. The president is the leader of the nation, that is why he travels with a Ghanaian passport and not Akyem or NPP passport. Please let's welcome constructive criticisms and invite suggestions. Ethiopia is developing vaccine to cure the virus using scientist and traditional herbs.Ethiopia is a country in Africa, Ghana is also in Africa but inviting so called men of god to pray for healing. IS Ghana closer to the moon or the sun
