Ashanti Gold Medical Chief, Dr. George Chidi has debunked reports indicating that some players of the club have tested positive for the novel COVID-19 pandemic.

Rumours in a section of the local media were that four players of the Miners have contracted the disease.

But according to the medical officer, the club is yet to take the players through the COVID-19 test as reported.

He explained that, the Ghana Premier League side is done with the pre-competition medical assessment, and the COVID-19 test is slated for Saturday, August 8, 2020.

He noted that they have informed the testing Center – KCCR of their intentions to test the players.

“That’s not true, because we have not started testing them of Covid-19, we are yet to start the COVID test, all things being equal on Saturday we should start, ” he told Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM.

“It’s no big deal anyone testing positive but we are yet to do the Covid-19 test, KCCR is ready to come to pick the samples but we are trying to put our logistics together. We need to put in place the protocols.”

The players will go in batches of 10 for the all-important test.

Ashanti Gold has been approved by the Ghana Football Association to represent Ghana in next season’s CAF Confederation Cup.
