A 38-year-old Ghanaian lady who returned from the United Kingdom to Ghana on March 6, 2020, has reported to the hospital with symptoms strikingly resembling COVID-19.
According to ghananewsonline.com.gh, the woman reported sick after being in the country for 10 days and had a fever with a temperature at about 40 degrees Celsius, difficulty in breathing and sore throat.
It is reported that the victim has thus been quarantined since morning awaiting further directives and transfer to the Noguchi Memorial Research Centre for further test.

Deputy Director of Nursing Services at the hospital, Madam Cynthia Lamptey, made the revelation to journalists whilst NDC's parliamentary candidate went to the hospital to make some donations.
Madam Cynthia Lamptey revealed that her medical facility is not in the capacity to conduct the test for COVID-19 which is why they had to follow the protocols of transferring to Noguchi.
Although all the symptoms seriously appear as that of COVID-19 and the woman recently came back from the United Kingdom, it is strongly hoped that she does not test positive as she is thought to have had contacts with many people over the 10 days she was in Ghana.
