Jul 5, 2020
President Nana Akufo-Addo has gone into a 14-day self-isolation after he got exposed to a COVID-19-positive person, Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah said in a statement issued on Saturday, 4 July 2020.
“On the advice of doctors, the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, is from today, 4 July 2020, taking a 14-day precautionary self-isolation measure in compliance with COVID-19 protocols,” the statement added.
It said: “The President has elected to do so after, at least, one person within his close circle, tested positive for COVID-19 today.”
According to the statement, the President opted to self-isolate “out of the abundance of caution” even though he has tested negative for the virus.
“The President will, during this precautionary self-isolation period, be working from the Presidential Villa at the Jubilee House, Accra,” the statement added.
Just on Friday, 3 July 2020, the President accepted the resignation letter of the Deputy Minister of Trade and Industries, Mr Carlos Kingsley Ahenkorah, after he exposed others to the disease despite knowing he had tested positive.
This followed the admission by Mr Ahenkorah of his breach of the COVID-19 protocols, when, as a person certified to be positive for the virus, he visited a registration centre in his constituency before the period of self-isolation was complete.
