The Ghana Psychological Association as part of ensuring stability and peace of the mind of Ghanaians have tasked the media not to entertain the views of people who don't believe Coronavirus exists.

According to Dr. Collins Badu Agyeman, Vice President of the Ghana Psychological Association, the outbreak of the deadly coronavirus is causing fear, panic, and anxiety among the Ghanaian populace.

Hence, the media shouldn't avail it's platform to people who don't believe coronavirus exists to compound Ghanaians by spreading misinformation.

"Look at the positive sides of coronavirus. Let us avoid sensationalism. People who do not uplift, people who do not believe coronavirus exists should not be entertained this once on our media houses. We want to be mindful of the diction we use, especially if it is in the Twi language," he said.

The Ghana Psychological Association briefed Ghanaians on the measures being put in place to ensure peace and stability of the mind, this morning at the Ministry of Information.
