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 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 centers in the Greater Accra Region.
