Commander Hudu told the GNA that all of them have been tested negative for the coronavirus disease, and their fate would within the day be determined by the Tatale District Assembly.
Meanwhile, both Ghana and Togo have closed down their borders, and quarantining or returning them to where they were travelling from could be the next options.
