Dan Botwe in a statement said, he is on admission “upon feeling unwell earlier this week”.
Among the several tests he has done is a COVID-19 test, and is awaiting results.
Mr. Botwe has pledged to inform the general public of his COVID-19 test results when he receives it.

This news comes a few hours after the Education Minister, Matthew Opoku Prempeh, released a statement sharing similar information.
He has been detained at the same isolation centre over fears of COVID-19 infection and is also awaiting his COVID-19 test results after reporting himself to the facility when he felt unwell.
Among the high profile government appointees who have tested positive for COVID-19 is the Health Minister, Kweku Agyeman Manu, who has been discharged and is receiving treatment from home.
