Headline: "Ghana can be like Wuhan" - GMA President
Dr. Frank Ankobea the President of Ghana Medical Association believes that Ghana can be like Wuhan in China if the preventive protocols are strictly observed by Ghanaians.
According to Dr. Frank Ankobea, Wuhan has recovered from the pandemic because the residents adhered to the preventive protocols and the directives of practicing social distancing.
He said if Ghanaians would want to be like Wuhan then, they must follow the preventive protocols by the government.
Speaking on Okay Fm's "Ade Akye Abia" show He said the president's directives and preventive protocols must be observed to fight the virus. The president said we should practice social distancing, wear nose mask, washing hands regularly under running water and the use if alcohol based hand sanitizer. Avoid touching of eyes, nose and mouth. Cover mouth with tissue or elbow when coughing which should be followed strictly.
He appealed to the media to be aggressive in the awareness creation of the pandemic as he feared that the low number of cases at some places has made some Ghanaians wrongly believe that the virus do not exist.
He also stated " But let us continue to educate the public and create the awareness of the existence of the virus.... this is exactly what the people of Wuhan province did to avert an escalation of the situation in China; there was nothing magically about it..... simple obedience to protocols changed their situation. So, if we do same, we will be able to defeat the virus.
