Chapter 18

It's been two days since Gyebi and Asabea were placed in a huge facility for Covid-19 patients, yet, no test had been conducted.

" What if we don't have Covid-19? Wouldn't they have wasted our time over here?" asked Gyebi.

" I think it's just a matter of precaution," replied Asabea.

For hours, Gyebi sat doing nothing. It was so boring that even sleep could not cure his boredom. In order to avoid fidgeting with the remote controls, there were no televisions to watch. A health official promised that the team responsible for Covid testing would be around in the afternoon. Gyebi waited all day for them. When, however, they finally arrived, there was so long a queue that he gave up ever waiting to have his turn. Fortunately, the health official who told him to get ready called him from the end of the queue.

" Gyebi, your name is first on the list. Come and get yourself tested."

" Thank Goodness!" he said and walked briskly and gratefully to have the team take his sample.
