Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson has said that the new lockdown directive issue by the government was not the best decision to be made at the time although the government is doing splendid work with trying to curb the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic considering all the limited tools it has to work with and the trouble which the virus is providing to more sophisticated nations.

She voiced out that there were so many grey areas, loopholes, misinformation, and confusion about the directive that he President issued on his fourth coronary address last week Friday. 

"While I appreciate the efforts the government is putting in to control this pandemic; I believe this #lockdown was not fully thought through. So many grey areas, loopholes, misinformation, and confusion. Like some people have already run away to other regions," she tweeted this on March 29, 2020."

Ghana has a seen a rapid increase of 152 cases in the last 3 weeks with 5 deaths, 2 recovered cases and one person in critical condition which led to the call for a lockdown by the Ghana Health Service in some parts of the country due to the rapid increase of the cases.

“If we want to apply public health principles that will be now. But we don’t live only on public health, we have other parameters to consider, but looking at just the public health principles now will be the best time to shut down.

"But there are other ramifications and so those things, we need to calculate and make sure that at the earliest point, such systems are put in place,” Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Patrick Aboagye said on Newsfile, Saturday, March 21, 2020.
