-


Mayor of Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), Hon. Osei-Assibey Antwi, has advised the general public to abstain from the stigmatization attitude towards the covid-19 recovered victims


According to him, some countries have adopted the habit of giving ovation to their recovered covid-19 victims but he lamented that the opposite happens in Ghana.


He added that, if the recovered victims of Covid-19 are stigmatized, it becomes very difficult for them to integrate into society




He made this known to the media today after the launching of Anti-Stigma Campaign on covid 19 patients at Kumasi Rattray Park.

Meanwhile the chief Executive Officer of Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital Dr. Oheneba Danso also said that, they find it difficult to get isolation centers all because of stigmatization so he is pleading to Ghanaians to stay away of that bad behavior.

The Ashanti Regional Minister Hon. Simon Osei Mensah on his part advised Ghanaians especially residents of Kumasi to strictly adhere to the precautionary measures especially the social distance, the wearing of nose mask and the other protocols.
