Oheneyere Gifty Anti, host of The Standpoint, has advised Ghanaians to comply with the lockdown directives by President Nana Akufo-Addo.

There are innumerable statistics and pressing questions surrounding coronavirus and the disease it causes, COVID-19. These statistics and questions keep swirling everywhere in print and the electronic media.

But it appears social media, especially whatsapp is where most of the information, misinformation about the pandemic really thrives. It scares and comfort, teaches and taunts, ebbs and flows; currently the debate is the COVID-19 linkage to 5G technology.
 
The coronavirus pandemic has turned our heads in a million different directions, and all of it is so overwhelming that we sometimes forget to just listen or critically analyze what we read and share.

And Oheneyere Gifty Anti just want the public to pay heed to this; IT IS REAL AND NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS, PERIOD!

The host of Standpoint, advised Ghanaians to comply with the lockdown directives announced by President Nana Akufo-Addo nearly two weeks ago.

Speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' program, Gifty Anti explained to host Kwami Sefa Kayi that it is in the interest of the Ghanaians that such decisions are made.

According to her, it is better to choose inconvenience over death and so urged Ghanaians to stay home.

She stated that the coronavirus is an insidious virus that shouldn't be toyed with because a person may not know where he or she may contract the virus.

Using her experience as an example for Ghanaians, Gifty Anti who was placed under compulsory quarantine after returning to Ghana from the United Kingdom disclosed how rapid the virus infection is as she revealed that before she arrived in Ghana in March, 2020, the UK had recorded 99 cases.

This, to her, should prove to Ghanaians that Coronavirus is not an ordinary disease to joke with.

"Let's take this thing serious. People are joking with this . . . We're joking with it . . . Let's protect ourselves and not kid with this," she advised.
