Residents of Tema Community 18 are protesting Bishop Titi-Ofei's plan to allow his property to be used as an isolation Centre for COVID-19 patients.

The residents confronted Bishop Titi-Ofei over why he wants to allow the health directorate in Tema to use his Titi-Ofei Centre as an isolation centre.

They say they were not consulted before the decision was reached because an isolation centre can not be in the middle of a busy town.

Bishop Titi-Ofei also spoke on the issue said he is only offering a helping hand to the authorities and it is up to them to determine if the facility is suitable for such purpose.

The 100-bed facility if approved will be used by the Health Directorate as an isolation centre for patients of the novel Coronavirus.

The Bishop is a member of the National Peace Council of Ghana and also serves as the President and CEO of Almond Institute.

Ghana's COVID-19 cases keep rising as it is now 195. 3 persons have been discharged after testing negative.

18 persons are at home and responding to treatment and 80 persons are at the treatment facilities.
