“With the world being more of a global village, it’s quite easy to contract diseases as these diseases travel faster rather than the years where we used to live in isolation”.

He made this known at a public forum on Coronavirus held at the Executive Theatre of TV3 under the theme “Emerging Infectious Diseases (EIDs) and their effects on Public Health Management in Ghana” on Tuesday.

Dr. Issaka Yakubu Akparibo also mentioned change in behaviour, noting that the food we consume especially the types of animals we feed on is a major contributing factor in contracting infectious diseases.
