The Chiefs and Elders of the Kwahu Traditional Area have cautioned natives of the land to restrict movements in and out of the area in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
According to the Chiefs, the instruction for natives staying out of the area to keep out is because Kwahu has an appreciable population of old people who stand a higher risk should there be an outbreak in the area.
The statement further instructed that people residing in the traditional area should desist from moving out of the place during these distressing times.
The statement indicated that all social gathering during this period should be halted till further notice.

I think the decision by the Kwahu Traditional Council will not help. Have they put in place better mechanism for the vulnerable in society when they are hungry? Do they know the consequences of a lockdown?. Please, they should come out with better decision, not lockdown. Even common sanitisers and veronica buckets, they are unable to provide for the various communities they rule. The Kwahuhene and his council should come again respectively.
lock down and testing everybody are the two main solution to reduce corona .GOV does not have the capacity to do this but the best way for us to enforce the washing of hand .With even this gov is not able to provide the sanitizes ,some places do not have water ,etc .Gov would be blamed if the spreading goes high .For Ghana we are looking up to God to have mercy and take this away or give us solution through somebody to bring out vaccine.For us information to the ordinary is a problem ,the belief of other people ,.....I suggest gov get the items needed to combat and also if we can get chlorine spray for to use it to spray faces
