Two Italians, who entered Ghana on board Air France flight, have been repatriated in compliance with the travel advisory directive issued by the Government to combat the spread of COVID-19.
The Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, said this at a trainer-of-trainers workshop for Regional Information Officers in Accra.
“Last night there were two Italians who it was clear they were coming from the epicentre, even though the aircraft was still in the air, we had to make arrangements at the airport to ensure that they did not get off the aircraft and they are returned to their originating destination.”
“At this stage, this is what we believe is appropriate to do and this is how we are enforcing it,” he added.
Ghana imposed a temporary ban on travelers from countries that have recorded 200 or more cases of coronavirus.
Ghana recorded four more cases of the deadly coronavirus bringing the total number of confirmed cases in the country to six.
