90 percent of my employees tested positive for Coronavirus – Napo

The Minister of Education Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh has disclosed a number of employees within his Ministry have tested positive for the novel Coronavirus.

Speaking to Kwame Sefa Kayi in an interview, Thursday morning, July 9, 2020, Dr. Prempeh revealed that mass testing was conducted at the ministry when it was made known that he had been infected with the virus.

According to him, results from the testing showed that almost all staff of the ministry had contracted the virus with the majority of them being asymptomatic.

“After my second result came out as positive, testing was conducted on all staff at the ministry and the results showed that out of every 50 persons, about 45 had contracted the virus. Most of them are asymptomatic so they are isolating at home,” the minister disclosed.

“For all the 52 years of my life, I’ve never been admitted to the hospital before and it was not a pleasant experience. The disease is very real and I don’t wish it on even my foe,” he further indicated.
