Former Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram ET Mensah has reportedly tested positive for COVID-19.
Sources say the former Sports Minister is currently receiving treatment at the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) after he was rushed to the facility Wednesday over difficulties in breathing.
He joins a growing list of high profile Ghanaians who have tested positive for the virus.
Ghana’s Health Minister Kwaku Agyeman Manu, Education Minister Mathew Opoku Prempeh and Regional Integration Minister Dan Botwe all tested positive for the virus but have recovered.
Earlier this month, the CEO of the Forestry Commission Sir John died of the virus.
Meanwhile, President Akufo-Addo is currently in isolation after coming into contact with an infected person.
