Coronavirus: Ghanaians share lessons acquired from the global pandemic

The Coronavirus disease continues to ravage human lives and economies all over the world and there are even fears that the world as we know it may never be the same when this pandemic is over.

Ghana confirmed its first case of Coronavirus on March 12 and has since reported a total of 2,719 infections, 18 deaths and 294 recoveries.

Government officials at the forefront of the fight in Ghana say they are leaving no stone unturned in their effort to ensure that the country gets out of the woods in the not too distant future.

“ I barely take my bath on a daily basis, talk less of washing my hands but for the fear of contracting the deadly disease I wash my hands every ten minutes and even bath twice daily”. A trader recounted.
