Rapper, Sarkodie says most Ghanaians are careers of the deadly coronavirus but are walking about with it because the culture of checking up on one’s health status is still something new to the culture.
He made this known when he was educating his followers on why they should stay home.
He said “Reality is: Back home alot of people rarely go for check-ups even when seriously sick ..we just know we will b fine but we dead wrong .. so I can only imagine the no. Of people with virus still walking around .. guys it’s way serious than we think pls #StayHome“.
Meanwhile the Health Minister, Kwaku Agyemang Manu has disclosed that 31 persons out of Ghana’s 145 active cases of coronavirus infections have tested negative after going through periods of management in isolation.
Ghanaian actor and tourism ambassador Ian Wordi has suggestion that the two-weeks lockdown declared by the Government of Ghana as part of it’s fight against Coronavirus will only be effective if the right thing is not done.
Recall that, the President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, in a national address delivered on Friday, March 27, 2020, declared a partial lockdown in Accra and Kumasi effective on Monday 30th March 2020.
But Ian Wordi, who is currently trapped in Nigeria due to the border closure, believes many lives will be affected if the President doesn’t take the appropriate measures.
He made this statement during a live Instagram post.
According to the ‘Year of Return, Ghana 2019’ ambassador, the lockdown will only be effective if the government sends mobile money transfer to citizens to feed during this period.
“I think the government shouldn’t lockdown the country without providing measures to feed the people,” he said. “Ghana is a country where a few percentages live on the street and in slums. A lockdown will never be possible until there are measures put in place. For instances, everyone should be given an amount of money via their mobile money accounts so that they can pay for things and take care of themselves before the lockdown. Because in Ghana, a lot of us do hand-to-mouth so if they lockdown, how are they going to get money to buy food?” he stated.
He admitted that the lockdown is necessary, however, he believes people will die if the measures he suggested are not put in place before the lockdown comes into full effect.
“Lockdown is needed but I don’t think it would be effective. People will die. The lockdown won’t work. We have people on the street who depend on the street to make money. Take places like Nima and Maamobi, who can force them to stay indoors? It can work in Trasaco and East Legon. I don’t think it will work in certain areas.”
The Minister of Health, Mr. Kwaku Agyeman Manu has disclosed that 31 out of the 152 confirmed patients in Ghana have recovered from the coronavirus.
This brings the recovery rate to 20.4% out of the total cases.
This is a piece of good news for us after some parts of the country had to lock down to curb the spread of the disease within the community.
On Saturday, March 28, President Nana Akufo-Addo announced a lockdown on the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area and the Greater Kumasi Metropolitan Area from 01:00 (local time) on Monday, March 30, due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
Greater Accra and Greater Kumasi have been locked down from yesterday and it will last for the next two weeks.
In other news, one female out of the eight (8) Guineans who tested positive for COVID-19 in the Northern Region, the youngest amongst them, has escaped from the Tamale quarantine facility. She left her belongings behind.
The Bono Region Chairman of the New Patriotic Party Kwame Baffoe Abronye DC has called on government to make conscious efforts to periodically undertake the ongoing disinfection exercise as part of measures to sanitise our communities.
