Professor Alfred Yawson at the University of Ghana Medical School has advised against the usage of marijuana as an antidote to Covid-19.

Social Distancing and the compulsory wearing of mask have been some of the protocols stated by the health officials.

There have also been reports from other African countries of the usage of traditional medicines in fighting the pandemic.
