Ace Ghanaian broadcaster, Gifty Anti is fortunately or unfortunately a part of the many Ghanaians currently under compulsory quarantine following the express order of the president.
The Stand Point Host, who was on the last British Airways flight to Ghana, before the close of the country’s borders, described the situation as “uncomfortable” but very “necessary”.
Gifty Anti narrated saying: “No one. Absolutely no one was allowed to go home or see relatives who had come to meet them”.
According to her, the National Security Minister, his deputy, BNI director and other security operatives, as well as the police, military and health professionals were all at the airport to ensure that no one escapes.
The journalist in her would not rest as she added, “This morning, I opened my door and the military guy on the floor said, ‘Madam please go back inside’.
“Well, I was just looking!!! So, they leave the food at your door, knock and leave. No human contact. The only human contacts are the fully PPE clothed health officials who come to take our samples for testing. Quite an uncomfortable process, though very necessary.”
She noted “Ghana is taking this seriously and we the citizens must take it seriously too. It’s not fun to be under compulsory quarantine but it is very necessary!!!”
