Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo is now working from isolation after he went on a 14-day quarantine as a precaution when a member of his close circle tested positive for coronavirus.
It is not known whether the person who tested positive was a member of his family or staff.
A government statement on Saturday said although President Akufo-Addo had tested negative, he would follow the advice of his doctors as a precautionary measure.
With 20,085 cases, Ghana is one of the worst affected countries in sub Saharan Africa – although it has conducted far more tests than most nations in the region.
