“We are not in normal times so avoid touching your mouth, eyes and nose, in short, avoid touching ‘MEN’ or don’t touch ‘MEN’, it is one of the surest ways to avoid contracting the disease”.

She also advised Ghanaians to be circumspect and verify information they acquire before quickly forwarding on social media.

She said the phenomenon of forwarding unverified information was tantamount to attesting to what was being spread.

“…Share accurate texted information. If you hit the forward button, it means you are attesting to it. The worse is people who don’t read what they are forwarding. What is the essence? She quizzed.
