National Women's Organizer of NPP, Madam Kate Gyamfua has appealed to all women in Ghana to fast for three days to ask God to heal the land of the deadly Corona Virus which has plagued several countries worldwide.

She is proposing the fasting starts tomorrow, Tuesday, 17th March 2020, and ends on Thursday, 19th March 2020 from 6 am to 6 pm daily.

Madam Gyamfua asked all women to "take inspiration from the Bible in Psalm 31 and pray to God" to help Ghana in these hard times.

Speaking to a cross-section of the media in an interview, she also appealed to all and sundry to strictly adhere to proper hygienic standards to minimize the spread of the virus, especially as educational institutions have shut-down indefinitely and school-kids have been asked to stay at home.

The NPP National Women's Organizer decried the practice by some Ghanaians to make political capital out of the pandemic, warning that the virus does not differentiate between members of the ruling NPP and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

"...this is the time to rise above partisanship and politics...since the CODVID-19 does not discriminate in any way...we must all put our shoulder to the wheel to prevent its speed," Kate Gyamfua stated.
