Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, has undergone a test
for Coronavirus.
This could be part of a measure by the government to have all
appointees tested for the novel viral disease, which has so far claimed eight
lives in Ghana.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his family underwent the tests last month, a day
before his birthday. Results were negative.
Staff of his office, numbering 98, also underwent tests.
Government appointees were also put on a list to undergo
tests in order to clear them, especially those who lead the fight against
coronavirus.
On Thursday, writing in the Financial Times, Mr Ofori-Atta
announced that he has also undergone the test for Covid-19.
“I have also been tested for Covid-19 and I am anxiously
awaiting the results,” he stated.
He concluded his piece: “I am sleepy. I murmur through Psalm
23: “The Lord is my shepherd . . .”
