Outspoken Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson has expressed her opinion on the President's directive for a partial lockdown.
Lydia who has acknowledged the government’s relentless efforts in containing the spread of the deadly Coronavirus, believes the lockdown directive issued by the president was not well thought through.
Expressing her thoughts on social media, the “Perfect Picture” actress said, there are so many grey areas in President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's new directive.
"While I appreciate the efforts the government is putting in to control this pandemic; I believe this #lockdown was not fully thought through. So many grey areas, loopholes, misinformation, and confusion. Like some people have already run away to other regions," she tweeted this on March 29, 2020.
President Nana Akufo-Addo declared a partial lockdown of Accra and Kumasi effective 1am on Monday, March 30, 2020.
The lockdown which affects Accra, Tema and Kumasi will last for two weeks. The decision, according to the President is to help curb the spread of COVID-19 which has led to four deaths and infected some 137 people.
President Nana Akufo-Addo made the declaration in a national address delivered on Friday, March 27, 2020.
Ghana has a seen a rapid increase of 152 cases in the last 3 weeks with 5 deaths, 2 recovered cases and one person in critical condition.

As for some Ghanaians di3333 i struggle to understand. For weeks the President has been berated to lockdown the country by equally well meaning and i-ll minded persons in the country. The president having carefully initiated a partial lock down like many countries like the UK, out comes Sister Lydia to criticise and as usual offer no solution or alternatives. Talk they is ch-£ap. This is a crucial time that the so called creative arts group in Ghana make use of their Z list status to make a difference not spew negativity. M'abr3 mo.
