“We had concerns and spoke to the ambassador and his team came to our aid , they have provided those who were short on foodstuff and we are now good for now. So our request to be evacuated back to Ghana. We can assure our families back home that we are safe for now. The Ghanaian authorities have come up with various means of transportation so we can now move out. We just hope this ends so we go back to our normal lives.”

Travel restrictions have been tightened and wearing masks in public is now mandatory in some cities.
