Political scientist and former lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Dr. Amoako Baah has commended President Akufo-Addo for measures put in place to contain the coronavirus pandemic.

However, he feels more should be done because the rate at which the cases are going up 'is frightening'.

"He's (Akufo-Addo) done well but the cases are currently increasing and this is the critical time we need to be careful. Things can change drastically and it is frightening for me" he said in an interaction on Neat FM.
