Guinea and Burkina Faso have rejected its citizens who tested positive to COVID-19 in Ghana. The Northern Regional Minister, Salifu Saeed, disclosed that the authorities in Guinea and Burkina Faso are unwilling to accept eight Guineans and Burkinabes who tested positive to COVID-19 virus in Tamale. The eight are in quarantine.
“Our headache is that the Guinean authorities are saying they will not agree for us to return them,” the Minister said at a media briefing on Wednesday.
Also, two Burkinabes remain in quarantine in Ghana as their home country threaten to return Ghanaians who are critically ill in their country and receiving treatment.
Addressing the media in Tamale, the Northern Region capital, Mr Saeed said the Foreign Affairs Ministry is treading cautiously on the matter to prevent a diplomatic row.
