Ghanaian actress, Lydia Forson, has revealed that she originally thought that the "Coronavirus scare" was nothing but a joke and that Ghanaian media just made it look scary with their false reportage, leading to her never seeing the news a serious one until it became so evident

She revealed that disposition was due to the Ghanaian Media's known ability to overblown simple situations and to exaggerate things out of proportion.

Miss Forson posted on her social media page on how she has now seen the reality for herself. 

 “To be honest when #coronavirus started I really wasn’t that worried. I was part of the people who thought the media was blowing it out of proportion (still do a little). I only started to worry when I realized that our health facilities couldn’t handle an influx of patients,” she said.

 

 

As of March 25, 2020, a total of sixty-eight (68) cases including two deaths have been confirmed.
