The Health Minister has advised Ghanaians to refrain from unnecessarily breaching the social distancing directive set in place by government as a measure against the spread of the coronavirus.

According to him, just as other countries have set in place social distancing protocols to contain the pandemic, it is imperative that Ghanaians also adhere to the order to produce the desired effect.

Speaking at a press briefing Tuesday, the Minister encouraged Ghanaians to stay at home until it was urgent to go out.

Agyeman-Manu also mentioned that proper personal hygiene practices should continue to be adhered to stop the spread of the virus.
