He said: “It gave us the opportunity to speak in a language that they understand. It gave us the opportunity to explain the message and terms. When we say social distancing and hand-washing, what does it mean to the ordinary man?

“Again, we also get the opportunity to talk about other important or essential health matters like pregnant women who are not visiting the hospital because of fear and anxiety, we get to address the issues,

“This procedure helps us to address the issues of stigma that characterizes the issues and allows us to also address issues of non-communicable diseases.”

As of Tuesday August 18, the Ghana Health Service (GHS) said the country has recorded nine new Covid-19 deaths, taking the number of deaths relating to the virus to 248.

The GHS said 340 new cases were recorded in the country, bringing to the total so far to 42,993.

The total recoveries stand at 40,796 whereas the active cases also stand at 1,949.
