Special aide to former President John Mahama, Mrs Joyce Bawah Mogtari, has denied reports that she has tested positive for COVID-19 describing it as a New Patriotic Party (NPP) propaganda.

“As for the NPP propaganda all over that I, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, have tested positive for COVID-19 and in isolation, please ignore it,” the former Deputy Minister of Transport said in a Facebook post.

Mrs Mogtari noted that as someone who has been fighting the stigmatisation of recovered persons: “I will be the first to announce my status and help in the education and advocacy to reduce the stigma.”
