Police to isolate inmates who have tested positive for COVID-19 for treatment

Tema Regional Police Commander, DCOP Akrofi Oyirifi Edward Johnson, says the police are in court to move a motion for nine inmates who have tested for COVID-19 to be taken to isolation centres for treatment.

Nine inmates at Ashaiman and one other at Kpone police cells last week tested positive for COVID-19 and this sent  shivers down the spine of other inmates and police personnel.

Since then some steps have been taken to reduce spread.

So far, no inmate or police officer has tested positive for the virus within Tema.
