Gloria pointed out the fact that developed countries far advanced in research and medicine are still under lockdown but still respected the President’s decision. “I am very sure the government did some consultations with experts before deciding to lift the lockdown. In the same vein, there will be consultations if Ghanaians want to go back under lockdown before a final decision is reached. But for now, we should all respect the President’s decision”, she said.
The actress advised Ghanaians to keep on practicing all precautionary measures to protect themselves against the virus “even when the virus has been eradicated”.
