We Risk Being Hit Hard By COVID-19 If,..... - Herbert Mensah Warns

The President and Board Chairman of Ghana Rugby, Herbert Mensah is pleading with all Ghanaians to wear nose masks as a protective measure against the spread of COVID-19.
 
Play your party, stay safe
 
His appeal was made by means of a video and supported with an animation image of himself wearing a face mask with an inscription “Play Your Party, Stay Safe” messages on it.
 
Be responsible
 
According to him, if individuals cannot be responsible, the fight against the virus will be impossible despite government efforts.
 
“The feeling is not, COVID-19 is not going to hit us or it’s not too serious. But the fact still remains that, how many people do you see wearing masks anymore? How many people do you see involved in best practices? You cannot blame the government for that. We have to look at ourselves.”  He opined
 
Government is doing well, but protect yourself
 
Mr. Mensah lauded government’s approach in the fight against the virus but added that “It’s up to us, to protect ourselves.”
 
“The simple dynamics of corona [COVID-19} is that it started in the far East, then they went into immediate lockdown, from there, social distancing. We know that that is the only way we can actually manage the situation. It then went down to Europe, by the time the UK realized, they had over thirty to forty thousand people dead. America thought it was an ordinary flu, today nearly 100,000 people are dead.”
