President Nana Akufo-Addo has appealed to Ghanaians to pay serious attention to their health as coronavirus keeps rising across the country.

According to him it is important to seek immediate medical attention if ones begins to experience certain health conditions such as cold, high temperature, bodily pains, loss of taste and smell, difficulty in breathing  as well as sore throat.

To him there is nothing shameful to testing positive.

He noted that overcoming the virus will require each and every Ghanaian taking responsibility of their health and respecting the safety protocols of the coronavirus.

“…I implore you to pay attention to your health, when you begin to experience symptoms such as fever, persistent cough, bodily pains, loss of taste and smell, and difficulty in breathing, seek immediate medical attention at the nearest health facility.

 I remain concerned about the stigma associated with this disease. Stories of persons who have recovered from this disease, and being shunned by their own relatives and communities, are a source of considerable worry to me, because they undermine our efforts to fight it. There is nothing shameful about testing positive. We do not have to lose our sense of community because of this pandemic," he said.

He reiterated his call on Ghanaians to eat healthy food.
