President Nana Akufo-Addo has wished the Minister of Health, Kwaku Agyeman Manu a speedy recovery.
This has come as a shock to many as the Health Minister is said to have denied reports that he had tested positive for COVID-19 and was receiving treatment at the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC).
The minister was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday (June 9, 2020) and is “in a stable condition”.
Sources indicate that the Minister contracted the virus after his wife and son were both admitted at the Intensive Care Unit of UGMC.
But his wife has denied reports that she has contracted the virus.
The Ministry of Health corroborated the information as checks suggest that Mr Agyeman Manu has taken a few days of.
In his 11th update to the country on COVID-19, President Akufo-Addo said “we wish our hardworking minister for health a speedy recovery. He contracted the virus in the line of his work and he is stable condition.”
Ghanaians on social media have been reacting to this development

– Kojo Oppong would have to self quarantine. Including all the other members on the team who engage in the daily briefing. Plus all the press men and women in that room.
Wishing you all the very best. #StaySafe
So the health minister that UTV spoke to that said he hasn’t contracted the virus, was it not him? Why would you be denying that you have it when you’re leading the calls for citizens not to see any shame in testing positive?

Please when you’re told to self isolate or quarantine, it’s for your own safety and others. No need to break it to prove you’re tough.
Yes, I’m talking to the MPs and staff who refuse to stay home.
Health minister has set a good example. Be like him.— Bee (@Bridget_Otoo) June 14, 2020
