Ghana’s President, Nana Akufo-Addo has confirmed that the country’s health minister, Kwaku Agyeman Manu has been infected with the Coronavirus.
The minister who is also a member of parliament has been away from work for days now and is said to be on admission at the hospital but “in a stable condition”.
Members of his family have also been infected and had received treatment weeks ago from the virus.
But there were reports that minister denied getting infected but the President on Sunday evening confirmed that his health minister was infected in the line of duty.
Nana Akufo Addo then wished him speedy recovery, saying he is in stable condition.
Ghana has so far recorded almost 12,000 cases of coronavirus and is one of the countries in Africa with huge infections.
But the President said the high confirmed cases of the virus among the population should not be a cause for worry.
He said over 200,000 tests have been conducted and such an initiative is the surest way to isolate those with the virus and treat them.
The country has also relaxed most of its restrictions meant to control the spread of the virus.
Places of worship have reopened and schools are also reopening this week for students to resume studies.
