The young lady who’s part of a number of Ghanaians who tested positive for the virus and are being held in isolation reportedly escaped on the blind side of the police/Military team detailed to ensure the patients don’t go out of the facility to infect others with the disease.
The Northern Regional Minister, Salifu Said in an interview disclosed that the lady who’s about 21 years escaped late Monday night by scaling over the wall of the hotel leaving behind all her belongings including her mobile phone.
He said a manhunt has been launched to ensure the lady is arrested saying it is likely she’s still in the vicinity.
Hon. Salifu Said added that a public announcement has been made to inform the public to be on a lookout for the lady so that she doesn’t spread the disease.
“I was compelled to relay it to the public so that people will take precautions. If you see a thing young girl at that age(21 years) and you don’t know her they should get closer, they should interrogate her before. So we are very hopeful that we’ll be able to get her.”
