Also, the cases of seven nurses, a physician assistant, a pharmacist and a record staff of the St Joseph Hospital in Koforidua, who were quarantined after attending to a suspected carrier on Sunday, have also tested negative.
The suspected carrier of the virus is said to be a rotational nurse at the hospital who showed symptoms after receiving a parcel from China two weeks ago.
But the Medical Director of the hospital, Dr Kupualor revealed that the results from the Noguchi proved that the suspected person was not infected.
