Health experts have said the next two weeks are critical in determining whether or not Ghana will get significant community spread of coronavirus.

Measures have been put in place in the quest to prevent the situation from escalating and indeed, some celebrities have joined the sensitization campaign. What’s more to be done?

Already, Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Patrick Aboagye has said it will be in the country’s best interest to lock down; Bright Simons, Vice President of Imani Ghana has hinted of a national lockdown by Monday.

How best can the arts help in combating the pandemic? How can people in the arts cope in this difficult period?

There are suggestions that event organisers who have been greatly affected by the ban on public gatherings should benefit from the $100m coronavirus cash. Fair comment?

On this episode of Bloggers Forum, host Abrantepa sits with Kobby Blay of ghanahealthnest.com and and Emmanuel Ghansah of ghanamusic.com for a conversation on the aforementioned.
