The traveller who released a video casting doubts on the credibility of the COVID-19 test results at the Kotoka Internation Airport has apologised for her criticism of the protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In another video in which the woman, Ivy Aboagye, offers her apology, she said she was in distress and was tired at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whilst she felt the initial tests were baffling, she sought education from some other health personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI spoke to some health personnel and they said it is possible that you can test within 24 hours and still test positive so I am here to say I am sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She also apologised to the Mplaza hotel, where she is in quarantine, and the health personnel there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey [Mplaza] opened their doors to all the covid patients to be quarantined,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her 12-minute-long video had caught the attention of key stakeholders, including the former Deputy Health Minister, Dr. Bernard Okoe Boye, who\u2019s a member of the government\u2019s COVID-19 team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Okoe Boye released a video of his own defending the testing processes at the Kotoka International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All passengers arriving in Ghana are to have in their possession a negative COVID\u201119 PCR test result in English from an accredited laboratory in their country of origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tests are to be done not more than 72 hours before the scheduled departure from the country of origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since the KIA was re-opened to international travel on 1st September 2020, almost 400,00 passengers have been tested for COVID-19 upon arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
