“The threat of the Coronavirus is real and it is no respecter of persons. I urge all Ghanaians to follow rules and regulations and I want them to listen to the President and our doctors.
"Wash your hands often and use the sanitisers. Avoid touching your face and avoid crowded places. Let us avoid handshakes, kisses and hugs."
"I know this is tough for us as Ghanaians since we respect handshakes a lot. However, this is a difficult time and we need to understand these measures and stay safe.”

Inter Milan has provided masks and sanitisers and they have given us the players measures to follow and our daily workouts come in via videos and WhatsApp messages. We are on break now and we really do not know when we will resume.” he concluded.
