To obey or not to obey: Photos of how Ghanaians are fighting COVID-19

On January 23, 2021, 7:30 AM

Ghana’s COVID-19 cases have spiked in recent times raising concerns among health workers.

As of January 22, 2021, Ghana’s active case count stood at 2, 413 after 658 new cases were recorded.

The death toll has also shot up to 361.

The latest increase in cases forced President Akufo-Addo to order the police to be extremely strict in enforcing the COVID-19 laws aimed at insulating the public against the virus.

But with COVID-19 rising at breakneck speed, how is the Ghanaian public responding to them?

At this bus stop, there was total disregard for the safety protocols.

Chatting in each other’s face, this squad had probably forgotten all about COVID-19

Perhaps, they wanted all to see the smiles on their face. So they defied all COVID-19 protocols.

For him, COVID-19 could have its way till he was done with his phone call.

When the food is more important than contracting COVID-19, you engage in hearty conversations without face masks and social distancing, get your food, and walk away.

At this food joint, the safety protocols obviously meant nothing to them.

I finger in the air for our officers.

Wear your mask and pose like a boss.

But at this section of the Achimota old station, what did you say was COVID-19?

While some obeyed safety protocols, others didn’t, and some “partially” did.

Some obeyed, others didn’t.

For a student, we expected better.

In public places like Achimota, the disregard was quite on the high.

These damsels adorned their masks with pride.
