But, speaking to Adom FM on Saturday, March 21, 2020, Mr Oppong-Nkrumah denied such reports describing them as false.
He, however, revealed that President Akufo-Addo later in the day will speak on the matter in a televised address to the nation.
Case management reports show that the active cases are responding very well to treatment awaiting final cure tests. Our frontline response workers at hospitals and ports are doing well so far. #SpreadCalmNotFear https://t.co/ZJfHyRJd5W
