In France, Rent, Mortgage, Tax,etc. are all free for now. Churches should avoid collections, free will offering, etc. Do not trick members to bring their last monies as coronavirus thanksgiving.
I suggest the media should also bring out positive message about people recovering form this virus so it can take away the fear . Fear can kill a lot of people when they test positive .From next week should be seen those who being infected by people from abroad .
Thank God for everything .The presidents directives is to reduce spreading .The places where the spreading will be much are bus ,trotro ,taxi terminal ,business centers ,market ,those selling around etc.The government should be more serious about this .FDA should check those selling edible items to abide by the washing of hand or using sanitize .Standard Board should check on those selling non edible items to do same .Gov . other hand should make sure there is water and sanitizes .Let us encourage each to abide by the washing of hand with soap and running water or by using sanitizes . If we can pick something from what is happening to Italy .China did very well to fight this virus .Ghana gov should think twice about the NIA & EC . Let us spreading this :Wash hand before entering or touching .
I SUGGEST ALL GHANAIANS ARE TESTED AT THIS STAGE. WE NEED NOT WAIT TILL OUR TEMP RISES TO THE SO-CALLED 39. SOMETHING DEGREES. ITS GETTING SCARY. LET'S SIT UP AS GHANAIANS. THE TALKING IS GETTING TOO MUCH. WE TALK MORE AND ACT LESS. HOUSE TO HOUSE TESTING AND SCREENING IS THE IDEAL SITUATION. OUR WEATHER IS SUCH THAT PEOPLE MAY FEEL HOT WITHOUT KNOWING. WE ONLY GIVE INSTRUCTIONS BUT FEAR OR FEEL LAZY TO ACT AS PEOPLE. THIS IS NOT POLITICS MATTER. THE ELDEST IN THIS COUNTRY PLEASE ACT FAST. WE BEG YOU. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER MY WRITE UP WILL GET TO MR PRESIDENT.
All these are of no importance to us at the moment because the immediate measures like closing boarders and correct travelling restrictions and what have you should be in place because looking at records, these are people who went outside during the outbreak... First thing first..
This thing is really getting out of hands,from two we recorded six,from six to nine and in less than twenty four hours another two is been confirmed..all imported cases...i thought our airport was on lock-down..God have mercy and intervene for your children
It's not funny anymore.What is all this now. The government should please do something and very fast.Hmmmmmmm we are not save again. God please intervene in this country.
Government should close down the air,for all we know these are all imported into Ghana. We cannot allow this.
This thing is getting alarmingly serious. The reported did not tell us where the Lebanese man came from. Several questions unanswered. Did this Lebanese bring the virus from abroad or he has been in Kumasi all along? What about their family members, associates, neighbours, workers, etc? Have they been quarantined? For how long has this woman and this Lebanese carried this virus in Kumasi without detection? What measures have been put in place to ensure that the virus does not spread? etc. etc. etc. Asem beba dabi!
No need to panic. God is in control. God will avenge His own.
