Seasoned journalist, Kwesi Pratt has hinted there will soon be another lockdown in the country.
Contributing to panel discussion on ''Kokrokoo'' on Peace FM, Kwesi Pratt stated that looking at the rapid spread of the Coronavirus resulting in Ghana recording 5,127 cases, it is possible President Nana Akufo-Addo will announce another lockdown to contain the situation.
Kwesi Pratt also listed a number of factors that may inform the President's decision to issue a lockdown again.
According to him, looking at some Ghanaians not adhering to the preventive protocols to curb the disease, it will be prudent for the enforcement of a lockdown because that is the only way to safeguard the citizenry.
He said research has proven restricting human movements is the surest way to fight the pandemic and therefore from his observations about the behaviour of Ghanaians ''there could be a lockdown again...Maybe it won't be a national lockdown but for the epic centers, you have to lock down''.

It is sad people are adding political spices to the stew. When you have 1 person infecting over 500 people and another infecting over 270 people ate different places the only sensible thing to do is to arrest the situation immediately and you can't do that through a vaccine: the only tool available now is to limit the community spread through lockdown! Given Ghana's small population of under 30million people it will only take about 6000 people to infect every body in the country! Perhaps less because the rate of infection is exponential ,meaning subsequent infections will spread faster than previous infections and you may only need less than a 1000 people to infect the whole country if movement of people is not curtailed! I just don't see how anyone can politicize Pratt's statement!
This NDC(PP) man and his favourate party are just praying for the worst to happen to this country so that the EC will not be able to do their work. Stomach journalist.
really ? guess the order for lock down will come from the NDC technical team
