Some commercial drivers at Awutu Breku in the Central region have been responding to the confirmation of deadly COVID-19 in Ghana.
Speaking to Adom News’ Kofi Agyei, some of the drivers bemoaned the government’s failure to prevent the spread of the disease into the country. They, however, made some humorous comments about the disease.
One of the drivers said, “I have heard the disease fears alcohol, so henceforth I am going to continuously drink alcohol. If the police arrest me I will tell them I am drinking because of coronavirus.”
