Ghanaian actress, Lydia Forson, has asked Ghanaians to be more careful especially during these times where there has been a sharp increase in deaths due to the Coronavirus.

The popular actress blamed the death spike on negligence on the part of Ghanaians. She believes that since the virus had not been previously killing Africans like it had been killing people in other parts of the world, Africans already believe that it can do no harm further down the line.

She took to her Twitter page to warn Ghanaians of the dangerous after-effects of not staying cautious, warning that the virus had been in the other parts long before it got to Africa, so its effect may not be seen in Ghana until later.

"We must understand that #COVID?19 is something the whole world is trying to figure out. We have more questions than answers and we find something new each day. So all we can really do is be extra cautious, that’s the only protection we have,”.

“We’ve been focused more on PR than actually fighting #COVID?19 and it’s coming back to bite us in the ass. When restrictions were relaxed so did the people, it’s just who we are. Stop spinning this, let us know the brutal truth so we can protect ourselves,” she stressed.

The actress expressed her displeasure at people who have been using the virus as a political tool or those who believe that the virus only affects rich people.

“Honestly, I’m sad. Your political affiliation really shouldn’t matter in times like this, any human life lost is heartbreaking. This isn’t a time for politics, we have to come together and fight this. It also means that we should STOP using #COVID?19 as a campaign strategy.”

She went on to lambast the government for allowing the voter's registration process to continue despite the huge risk it possesses in increasing the numbers for the Coronavirus cases.

But we should risk our lives to go and stand in line to register?!!! And please don’t come and tell us other countries have done it, we aren’t other countries!! My parents are now forced to choose between exercising their franchise and their health!!!”.
