A newly-suspected case of coronavirus otherwise known as COVID-19 that was identified at Weija-Gbawe in the Greater Accra-Region has turned out negative.
It would be recalled how YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a 38-year-old Ghanaian lady who returned from the United Kingdom to Ghana on March 6, 2020, reported to the hospital with symptoms strikingly resembling COVID-19.
It was reported that the victim was quarantined, awaiting further directives and transfer to the Noguchi Memorial Research Centre for further tests.

In a statement, the Weija-Gbawe Municipal Assembly later explained that the 38-year-old lady reported at the hospital with a case of sore throat, high temperature and difficulty in breathing which are symptoms of the COVID-19 but laboratory tests at the Noguchi Medical Centre have proved negative.
"The Weija-Gbawe Municipal Hospital, therefore, has no case of COVID-19," the statement said.
This is such positive news for the 38-year-old who had returned from the United Kingdom as it would have added to make the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases eight as of March 18, 2020.
