The two Nigerians who recently tested positive for Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Ghana have been returned from the Ga East Municipal Hospital, Ghana’s main national coronavirus treatment center.
This is because the two are not cooperating with health authorities to be treated there.
The two persons are currently being held in a secluded police facility.
“The two Nigeriens who tested positive to COVID-19 and were transferred from a Police holding facility of the Accra District Police to the National Treatment Centre have been returned to the Police facility as a matter of necessity, to enable health officials to manage them. The two refused to submit to treatment at the national treatment center, making their management difficult, thus their return,” a press release from the police said.
The release from the police said the government of Ghana is working with the Nigerien Ambassador in Ghana to decide on the management of the two cases.
It is unclear if the government will consider repatriation as an immediate solution.

Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service says its officers will not be in contact with any of the two Nigeriens as efforts are being taken by the medical team of the Police Service to “safeguard Police Officers and our facility”.
“The public is reminded to continue to cooperate with the Police and Security Services to help curb the spread of the COVID-19. Stay home and stay safe, as we keep the frontline,” the police added.
