Coronavirus Ghanaian parents demand evacuation of their children in Wuhan

Parents of Ghanaian students in China’s Wuhan Province are mounting pressure on the government to evacuate their children currently stranded in the region as the Coronavirus outbreak intensifies.

They contend that government will face their wrath should any of the Ghanaian students contract the virus.

Their call follows a three day ultimatum issued by the Minority in parliament for government to evacuate the students to areas where the epidemic is less prone in China, or back to Ghana.

In an interview, spokesperson for the parents, Daniel Nii Lartey called on the government to act immediately to forestall any negative developments.

“Words cannot describe the situation as we speak now. The students are in fear and so much panic now. It is worse than what the Ministeries are saying that everything is under control so the students should still stay there.

Even the Chinese are running away from Wuhan, the epicentre. If we get to hear that one student is sick from any other form of disease, we’ll not take it lightly with this government at all. What should be done immediately is to evacuate the students.”
