”Wuhan is on a locked down. No transportation services, pharmacies are closed down. We are in our dormitories and the fear, anxiety and emotional trauma some of the students are going through is overwhelming. All that we are asking the government now is evacuation that is all. Almost all the East and North African country students have been evacuated from Wuhan but Ghana of which all the African countries , with the most populated students in China we are still here”.

”We have nothing doing at the moment we are just in our dormitories. And aware that government has given us some money. But I want to correct this, the money that has been given is not to procure food, its to procure medical necessities such as sanitizers etc. The issue is we don’t need the money, we have ours but who is going out to buy those medical necessitites and even now that the shops are closed”.
