He then recommended foods such as 'kontomire', oranges, 'dawadawa', millet, cashew nut, crabs, plantain, okro, brown rice and mushrooms.
"Fortunately all these foods can be food in Ghana, so patronising these foods, ensuring our personal hygiene, and improving our lifestyle habits should become part and parcel of our daily routines.
"This will help boost our immune systems and help us in the fight against pandemic."
