President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Wednesday returned from a 12-day working visit to some European countries.
While on his trip, a Civil Advocacy Group of Medical and Public Health practitioners urged that the President and his entourage undergo screening when they return to the country following an outbreak of coronavirus in some of the countries they visited.
President Akufo-Addo on Wednesday, 4th March 2020 toured the Tema General Hospital, the Greater Accra Regional Hospital and the Kotoka International Airport where he went through screening.
His visit was to ensure that things are in place to deal with the threat of the novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
However, the Member of Parliament for Juaboso Constituency and the Ranking Member on the Health Committee of Parliament says it is not enough to enough for the President to just go through the screening.
According to him, per directives from the Ministry of Health, returnees from countries that have recorded cases of COVID-19 or Coronavirus should go through self-quarantine for 14 days.
“This is what the Ministry of Health and the Ghana Health Service are saying that if you have recently arrived from any of the countries that have recorded a case, we advise you to stay away from the crowd (self-quarantine) for at least fourteen days. This is the Ministry and the Ghana Health Service speaking. But what are we witnessing – the President has returned from Norway and he is all over. We have heard that this Coronavirus has killed a whole Vice-President of Iran. We have heard that a whole deputy Minister of Health has been infected with this deadly virus. So, I will advise and I am very serious about it that the President and his entourage must quarantine themselves for at least fourteen days. This is a guideline issued by the Ministry of Health and the Ghana Health Service and they must adhere to it”, he advised during an interaction with the media.

This cheap thing should learn common sense and stop his arrogance of thinking he is the same class with the resident. We all watched your vetting and we remember vividly how low level you are.Politics is cheap in Ghana that is why someone like you can have the dirty mouth totalk.
Even nana addo who never became a class prefect all his life is now the president of Ghana. In all his youth, he was busy smoking weed, womanizing and drinking. Those of you who are mocking akandoh for being a dining hall prefect should tell us one position nana addo held in UK elementary or secondary school. Probably, the only recognized position he held was the ringleader of the weed smoking and pimping club.
Oh no so peacefm you cannot have any picture of the president other than this old old one ahba this is bad,
This dinning hall prefect is making too much noise these days. NDC have no programmes, no policies, no campaign message for voters. These corrupt party will remain in opposition for a very very long time and may never get back to power again.
Quarantine himself so that you bunch of confused masquerades will come and say the President is hiding in a room and doing nothing er? You opinions don't matter anymore since all the threats you have issued have yielded no repercussions - three days ultimatum and the rest of them lately. Tweaaaa
I blame some of you media houses given this young man a platform to spew gebberish...
Please please Peacefm spare us this dinning hall prefect guy. ah He wants to be on the news all the time
So the Ndc is going to talk like this till when. If the President had decided to quarantine himself as the Ndc is advising, what would have been the trending topic for discussion in the media. When is the Ndc going to have a manifesto, a message and a vice president so that they can be consistent. Now they seems to be talking about everything but not the air bus saga
