“To protect ourselves there must be restriction and controlled movement. If we are going to bring in foreign players to this country we have to consider if it’s important at this particular point in time”.

“I will advise the clubs and the Ghana Football Association to take precautionary measures in this coronavirus issue.

He entreated the Football Association to consider playing some of their league and national team games behind closed doors.

“I will entreat the Football regulatory body to help with the coronavirus issue. In certain countries games are been played behind closed doors”.
