Coronavirus: This Is Not About 'Love Your Neighbor As Yourself' – Opanyin Agyekum

Professor Kofi Agyekum, popularly known as Opanyin Agyekum has commended the government for various measures put in place to fight the coronavirus.

He has further urged Ghanaians to go by the measures as a way of helping the government prevent the spread of the virus.

Government has announced a travel advisory which discourages all travels to the country until further notice.

This took effect from 15th March 2020.

According to government, any traveller who, within the last 14 days, has been to a country that has recorded at least 200 cases of persons infected of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) disease, would not be permitted into the Ghanaian jurisdiction, except for Ghanaian citizens and persons with a Ghana residence permit.

The Government has also instructed airlines not to allow such persons to embark; and also urged border posts not permit such travellers into their jurisdiction.

Opanyin Agyekum who was speaking to the issue on Peace FM's morning show ‘Kokrokoo’, said even though Ghana is known for its hospitality, this is not the time to 'love your neighbor as yourself'.
