The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has said a total of 13 suspected coronavirus cases in Ghana have all tested negative since the detection of the illness globally.
Out of the 13 suspected cases, three were from the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) and the remaining 10 cases were from people who reported to the hospital and were suspected of having the illness.
However, after the tests, all the suspected cases came out negative.
In a radio interview with Radio Ghana on Monday [February 10, 2020], the Deputy Director of Disease Surveillance, Dr Franklin Asiedu Bekoe said claims of poor screening at the Kotoka International Airport was false.
He assured that adequate interventions have been instituted to safeguard Ghana from the outbreak.

One of two things: either we are not effectively conducting the test or we are highly fortunate to not record a single incident of the deadly infection! But how are the condition of those who were reportedly suspected of having it but tested out negative? It will be an absolute disaster of tsunamic proportions if they have the virus but evaded detection as a result of inadequate or ineffective testing procedure. This means they will reunite with their families and then right away the lid is blown! So we need to be absolutely sure by seeking a second opinion if this is practicable!
