President Akufo-Addo is addressing Ghanaians on preparations towards the deadly and fast-spreading coronavirus.
It comes after Ivory Coast registered its first case of the virus on Wednesday. The development means all of Ghana’s neighboring countries have recorded at least a case of the novel virus.
Meanwhile, the World Health Organization has declared the worldwide outbreak of the new coronavirus a pandemic, with more than 118,000 cases in 114 countries and 4,291 deaths.
“We have called every day for countries to take urgent and aggressive action. We have rung the alarm bell loud and clear,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Wednesday
