Founder and Leader of the All People’s Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga, has joined the Covid-19 awareness campaign following his near-death experience with the disease.

After being on admission for three weeks, Mr Ayariga has recovered and is urging all Ghanaians to observe all the Covid-19 protocols.

“I am very grateful to God for my life. Covid-19 is no respecter of persons. Wear your nose mask, wash your hands and stay safe,” he said

In a post on Facebook, the political party leader also expressed gratitude to the health workers at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital and International Maritime hospital (IMAH) "for their wonderful and excellent service and treatment."
