He said he felt he needed to show up in a public place with his Covid-19 status because he didn’t want his constituents to speculate on his absence at the start of the voter registration exercise.

In the interview he denied reports that he had been admitted to the intensive care unit of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital with Covid-19 complications. He said he was only at the isolation centre for overnight observation but was never at the ICU.
