Mr Oppong Nkrumah further went on to announce some measures Ghana has put in place to ensure these deportees do not come into the country with the deadly coronavirus.

“Government has put in place some safety measures to safely receive the deportees to ensure they come with no virus. When they arrive in Ghana there will be mandatory quarantine for all and test them for COVID-19. Those who test positive will be given the necessary supportive treatment, those who test negative will remain in quarantine for a second test at the end of their 14 day period. They are coming as deportees so they will be kept by the government for some investigations to be done on how they entered Kuwait illegally.”
