The Ga East Municipal Hospital has refused treatment for two Nigeriens who tested positive for Coronavirus.
According to the hospital, the foreign nationals failed to cooperate with authorities for treatment.
The two, however, have been secluded in a police facility as a “matter of necessity”, a press release from the police read.
A press release stated that “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 centre, making their management difficult, thus their return.”
The said Nigerians were arrested on April 5, 2020 after they could not give justifiable reasons for their movement following the lockdown directive by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
According to Citi News, further investigations by police triggered a medical test on them at the Ridge Hospital whose result came back on April 13, 2020.
