Coronavirus: Don’t ignore friends, loved ones because of social distancing – Rev Opuni-Frimpong

As the world is learning to adjust to social distancing to prevent people from contracting coronavirus which has been declared a global pandemic, Chief Executive Officer of Alliance for Christian Advocacy Africa, Reverend Dr Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong has urged all not to allow the current situation create a barrier between themselves, their families and friends.

Acknowledging the fact that the social distancing order from government was to help curb the virus which is fast spreading, he was of the view that the habit should also not lead to social isolation.

In a press release copied to GhanaWeb, he posited that “social distancing comes with the weakness of fear, frustration, loneliness, selfishness, denial of bereavement, mental and emotional instability etc. But we can as well demonstrate strength”.

He stressed that “this is the moment for us to practice our common humanity like kindness, compassion, patience, love, sense of belonging, demonstration of faith, support systems etc. Let us find our better selves and demonstrate our better selves in the midst of the new normal. We must open our hands to the pains of others as we accept the instructions to practice social distancing".
