President Akufo-Addo has decided to go into self-isolation after “at least one person within his close circle tested positive for Covid-19.”
The statement did not name the member of the President’s inner circle who has tested positive.
A statement signed by the Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah said on the advice of doctors, the President is from “July 4, 2020, taking a 14-day precautionary self-isolation measure in compliance with Covid-19 protocols.”
The statement, however, stated that the president himself has tested negative “as at today [July 4]”.
That negative test notwithstanding, the statement said, the President “elected to take this measure out of the abundance of caution.”
“The President during this precautionary self-isolation period will be working from the Presidential Villa at the Jubilee House,” it stated.
This comes just a day after the president toured some registration centres in the Greater Accra Region.
