Accra, Ghana, March 21, 2020//- Former Minister for Communications & Presidential Spokesperson, Dr Edward Kofi Omane Boamah has asked President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to lockdown Ghana to halt Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread.
He made this call following the rising number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the West African country. So far, Ghana has recorded 19 COVID-19 cases, with no death. But the potential of the spread of the disease in the country is too high, according to health experts.
