38 Tamale Health Workers Safe After Contacting Covid-19 Patients

Medical officers at the Tamale Teaching Hospital who came in contact with the ten Guineans infected with coronavirus have all tested negative.

Blood samples that were collected from them for testing showed no presence of the virus after they were cultured.

A total of 38 of them had been at risk after coming in contact with the infected Guineans who did not know they carried the virus until they were tracked down by officials and tested.

The Guineans have since been in isolation, with one of them escaping quarantine after the government had announced plans to return them to their home country. This has since emerged today that the Guinean authorities have refused to accept them back.

Meanwhile, Police officers who also came in contact with the same infected Guineans have not yet been tested, as they remain in mandatory quarantine at hotels.
