Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, is urging government to put on television, evidence of deaths from Covid-19.
The legislator feels such a move is the surest way to encourage people to believe it is real.
According to him, a shock therapy is important to encourage people to adhere to measures aimed at containing the disease.
Hon. Bagbin was contributing to a statement on the floor of Parliament by the Health Minister, Kwaku Agyemang-Manu, in which he updated MPs on progress made in dealing with the disease.
