The Former MUSIGA President and Musician, Bice Osei Kuffour, popularly known as Obour has lost his father to coronavirus (COVID-19).
According to sources, his father, Nana Osei Boansi Kuffour who returned from UK on March 19, 2020 and was fine at the time started coughing on March 22, 2020.
Although he was arranged to test for malaria and tested positive, and was receiving treatment, his condition became more serious and was sent to the Greater Accra Regional Hospital to be tested for COVID-19.
While awaiting his result which was supposed to be ready on Friday, March 27, 2020, in quarantine, on thursday night, he had extreme difficulty with breathing and was sent to the hospital by an ambulance to receive urgent care but he passed on Friday afternoon.
Below is a note from Obour:
With sadness and a heavy heart I announce the death of Nana Osei Boansi Kuffour my biological father. Nana returned from UK on 19th March after his yearly visit to the family. Upon his return he was fine but began coughing on Sunday 22nd. We arranged for his blood sample to be tested and he tested positive for malaria. We began treatment for malaria but his condition got worse. We arranged to bring him to Accra to be tested for Covid 19 at Ridge Hospital on Wednesday. They informed us that his report will be ready on Friday but we should keep him in quarantine which we did. On thursday night he had extreme difficulty with breathing so we called the Ambulance service and informed them of his condition. We told them the patient has tested for COVID 19 and awaiting his results so they should come along with appropriate apparel. The ambulance team took him to Ridge Hospital around 11pm on thursday March 26. We informed the health team at Ridge of his condition and also informed them he had earlier taken a test for Covid and awaiting results. Late this afternoon , the Drs informed us that he is likely to be a confirmed Covid case and as such we should take steps to do a contact trace and quarantine ourselves. Sadly he passed on this evening. Under the circumstances I understand nobody can come over to pay their respects and commiserate with our family as we are all on a 14 Day quarantine though I and my assistant who had close contact with him have both tested negative for COVID 19 as at today 27th March. These are the true facts about my fathers demise.Bice Obour Osei Kuffour
