Charles Nii Teiko Tagoe, a presidential staffer, under President Akufo-Addo’s administration who has fully recovered from COVID-19 has called on all Ghanaians to stop the stigma against those who have recovered from COVID-19 infection.

Mr. Tagoe in a Facebook post on Saturday, July 18, 2020 said: “A couple of weeks ago, I tested positive for the COVID 19 virus. By God’s will and grace, I have survived and have fully recovered . It is unimaginable what one has to go through for the 14 days living with COVID.”

He stressed that, “I am sharing my journey with you with the hope that you will find it informative enough to help curb the spread. We have the power to slow and stop this virus. Whilst we are at it, let us say no to COVID stigmatization.”

He has therefore taken to social media to step up the campaign against stigmatization of people with the virus.

Below is his full post:

A couple of weeks ago, I tested positive for the COVID 19 virus. By God’s will and grace, I have survived and have fully recovered . It is unimaginable what one has to go through for the 14 days living with COVID.

I am sharing my journey with you with the hope that you will find it informative enough to help curb the spread. We have the power to slow and stop this virus. Whilst we are at it, let us say no to COVID stigmatization.

If the virus did not end my and livelihood, the stigma from members of community should not .

My name is Charles Nii Teiko Tagoe and I say NO to stigmatization. #SayNoToStigmatization
