Ghana’s Finance Minister-designate Ken Ofori-Atta has been flown to the United States of America for post-Covid-19 medical complications.

This comes as the country’s case count continues to rise with over 1,000 cases recorded over the past couple of days.

A statement from the Finance Ministry issued on Sunday said, said after recovering from Covid-19 last December, Mr Ofori-Atta has had medical complications which doctors advise, require further interventions not currently available in Ghana.

Eugene Osei Tutu is with Partner Radio Station Focus FM in Ghana’s Ashanti region.
