Ghana has as at yesterday, March 25th, recorded 68 cases of the novel coronavirus disease, with three of the confirmed cases dead.

As the number of cases continue to rise on a daily basis, many Ghanaians have realised the need to better protect themselves, even as the country is yet to issue any form of curfew or lock down.

A visit to the streets of Accra show most people have resorted to wearing surgical mask to protect themselves from droplets which is the main means of transmission of the virus.

The Minister of Information, Honourable Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has however said, all options are still on the table as government has not ruled out the possibility of a lockdown if the need be.
