Dr Daniel Asare, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital has disclosed a nurse at the facility has indeed tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
Speaking on Asempa FM, Dr Daniel Asare said the nurse tested positive for the disease some few days ago.
Health workers at the nation’s premier hospital threatened to lay down their tools in the coming days, if the government does not provide them with the requisite PPEs.
Addressing the rumour that a staff of the facility had tested positive for the virus, Dr Daniel Asare said:
“It’s true a Nurse here has tested positive for COVID-19 and we’re tracing the primary source. The infected Staff has our full support….”
Dr Asare, however, allayed fears of the health workers at Korle Bu, insisting that ‘there is insurance available for all the Staff so no fears’.
“Our Staff who tested positive for COVID-19 is in home management and everything being catered for. We’re rigorously working on the recovery,” Dr Asare said.
