Member of Parliament [MP] for Lower Manya Krobo Constituency, Ebenezer Okletey Tei-Larbi, just like many other Ghanaians is not taking any chances in the wake of the detection of six cases of COVID-19 virus in Ghana.
Mr Tei-Larbi showed up on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem morning show on Monday with his mouth completely masked with a which mask.
The face mask, he said, was to protect him from the virus and limit his chances of contracting the virus from the numerous exchanges he may be having within the day.
“The most important thing is that the virus is here and the only thing we can do as citizens is to protect ourselves,” he explained.
