I Test Negative- Deputy Health Minister Benard Okoe Boye Reveals

The medical practitioner-cum-politician who was rumoured to have contracted the virus from Health Minister Kwaku Agyeman-Manu. He revealed on TV3 New Day Wednesday that the results of his covid-19 test came out negative on Tuesday.

“I got tested; all of us got tested and yesterday [Tuesday] I was informed that my results came out negative,” he told Johnny Hughes on the newspaper segment of the morning magazine show.

The somewhat relieved, MP for Ledzokuku Constituency said it. Although contracting the virus is not a death warrant. He suggested it would not have been a good news if he had tested positive for the virus.

“If I had come out positive, forgive me. Maybe I wouldn’t have been… not excited because the message must go strongly to the people that anybody can get the virus. And what is even more important is that the virus can be defeated,” he stated.

He said, though the virus has can be defeated, that should not be a justification for people being reckless but be cautious.

Dr Oko Boye said some of his relatives wish he would suspend medical consultation at hospital facilities due to the outbreak of the virus in the country which continue to surge by the day.

That, he said, was not an option for him because as a physician, he is like a soldier who keep fighting till death.
