According to a report filed by theghanareport.com as monitored on JoyNews, the two have been on the run for three days now since their coronavirus status was confirmed to them.

Residents in the slum area who know the head potter said she lives together with her three children in a single room shared by 15 others.
As part of the mass testing conducted by health officials on Sunday, April 5, 2020, the results showed 24 hours later that the two persons on the run were positive.
Attempts by contact tracers to get the two to agree to go under isolation failed as the team was met with fierce resistance from residents of the slum when blood samples of contacts of the affected person wanted to be taken.
Interestingly rumour has it that the community said that the contact tracers were only there to draw their blood to be used for rituals.
