“Senior Minister Osafo-Maafo has been informed that his sample taken has returned positive for COVID-19,” Oppong Nkrumah said.
“As of today [July 7, 2020], he will commence treatment for COVID-19 from home, and in consonance with the transparency that we are bringing to Ghanaians, he has instructed that we inform the general public accordingly,” he added.
Maafo is the latest government official to test positive for the virus which the government is treating like a joke despite its rising case count.
The President is in self-isolation after coming into contact with an aide who later tested positive and Forestry Commission boss Sir John recently died of the disease.
