Fashion designer and actor, Elikem Kumordzie has taken to social media to advise Ghanaians to take the coronavirus seriously, saying it is real.

Elikem who is one of the people that have been quarantined by government, shared a video of his experience after he and others were quarantined when they touched down at the airport.

“I am in a government quarantine, and I want to bring your mind to the fact that this thing is real, coronavirus is so real”, he said.

The government as part of measures in ensuring there is decrease in the spread of the coronavirus has directed all travelers to be quarantined for 14 days.

This initiative came shortly before the country shut all of its borders, except to goods and essential cargo.

Detailing his experience from the airport to the hotel, Elikem Kumordzie had nothing but praise for the government and the initiative it had taken to help curb the spread of the virus.

According to Elikem: “There was an announcement just before the plane landed, that we were going to be quarantined for between 72 hours to 14 days. We waited for an hour to two hours, and then we were transported to the hotel. What I liked most was the fact that they involved all the forces in the exercise, the police, and the army.”
