41 Ghanaians who were stuck in Washington DC in the United States of America have finally arrived in Ghana.
A report by Citi News indicates that most of the returnees were students who went on an exchange program sponsored by the State Department of the United States of America
They arrived aboard a South African Airways flight at 9.20 am today, Saturday, at the Kotoko International Airport.
The returnees are lodging at a hotel in Accra and they are to observe the two-weeks mandatory quarantine period.
This comes shortly after Government disclosed that it has arranged chartered flights to bring back Ghanaians home based on a schedule drawn up by the Foreign Affairs Ministry even though most countries have closed borders due to COVID-19.
Two more contingents from Burkina Faso and Turks and Caicos are expected to arrive later in the day.
One of the students who spoke to Citi News said, “The exchange program was supposed to be for ten months. So we were supposed to come back on June 8. But we left our various states on June 3 and then we went to the USA to stay overnight and then we left.”
