The President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo says the nation’s ultimate goal in the fight against Covid-19 is to record zero active cases.
In his 17th Covid-19 update, the President assured Ghanaians that he will do everything in his power to protect the nation and stop the import of the virus into the country and limit the spread.
Akufo-Addo revealed that 26 people have tested positive for the virus at the Kotoka International Airport so far.
“Pause for a moment and imagine what would have happened if these 26 positive cases had not been detected and had been allowed to mingle with the population”.
Commenting on the cost of mandatory Covid-19 test, the President said, “Even though the cost of 150 United States dollars per passenger for the mandatory airport Covid test has been criticized in certain quarters, the value of the test in speed, accuracy and savings for passengers who no longer have to bear the cost of the 14 days mandatory quarantine in hotels has been clearly established.”
