Mr. Drew Explains Why Ghanaians Do Not Take coronavirus seriously

Mr Drew has sensationally claimed that Ghanaians are learning to cope with the coronavirus by deliberately mixing it up with 'normal' malaria.

According to the artiste, most people cannot afford to take the virus seriously because of the toll it takes on survival.

He further explained that some of the safety protocols are being flouted primarily because people have become used to the virus and the deaths it brings.

To citizens of Ghana now, the virus is just another disease that has come to stay.

“As for the COVID-19 honestly I feel like it has become something that people have gotten used to it. People have gotten used to the rules and safety protocols so some people don’t really take coronavirus seriously,” he told Amansan Kwakye on the Kastle Entertainment Show.

Mr Drew further theorised that all the fear for the virus has evaporated since there are no adequate ways to tell if there's an asymptotic carrier around.

“Compared to the time it started where a lot of people were losing their lives. Now some people get infected with coronavirus but will still be walking freely in town with no symptoms and you can’t even tell if they’re really positive or not,” he said.

“At the end of the day the person will claim to be suffering from catarrh, cold or flu and after taking some Paracetamol that person will be fine. So it’s God’s grace that has been keeping us safe on a daily basis,” he added.

Ghana's COVID-19 death toll rises to 405 as another 15 deaths were announced by Ghana Health Service early Sunday.

The country’s daily average of new cases stands at 700.

Out of the 772 new cases, Greater Accra Region recorded 544 cases in 20 districts, representing 84.8 per cent.

The country’s COVID-19 cumulative cases stood at 67,782 after conducting 783,452 tests, with 61,843 people discharged/ discoveries (91.2 %) and 8.7 per cent positivity rate.
