Ghana’s President Akufo-Addo, his wife and family have all tested negative for Covid-19.
This was disclosed by his physician Dr Patrina Techi-Ankrah on Wednesday. The president’s staff, according to her, have also been tested. All the results are negative.
“A day before the president’s birthday, him, the first lady, his daughters and all the staff of his household and I am happy to announce that all the tests came negative.
“A day after his birthday, we continued to test people at the secretaries and as I speak now, a total of 99 persons have been tested and the results have come back negative,” Dr Techi-Ankrah said.
There have been several calls by many Ghanaians to make the President’s status public — after he embarked on series of travels to worse-hit countries in February.
