In a statement issued by the MoH and signed by its Ag. Chief Director, Kwabena Boadu Oku-Afari, the public Covid-19 testing laboratories providing walk-in services can only charge travellers for testing.
“All walk-in requests such as ill-health, contact tracing and exposure must be done free-of-charge using public health resources,” the statement indicated. “All public health laboratories are to take note and comply.”
