According to sources, the patient who reported to the Ridge Hospital in Accra was admitted on Thursday and was showing signs of the coronavirus but didn’t reveal his travel history.

However, it was later discovered after being tested for COVID-19 that the patient was positive. But it was too late because the result came in after he died.
