PNC General Secretary, Atik Mohammed, has admonished Ghanaians to stop flouting the preventive protocols to curb the spread of Coronavirus in the country.

Speaking to host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', Atik Mohammed bemoaned the character of some Ghanaians who have refused to heed the simple safety measures to control the disease.

According to him, ''the Ghanaian attitude is terrible'' in all sectors of the economy.

He stressed the nation will defeat the pandemic only when all Ghanaians play a significant role in observing the health instructions.

Atik Mohammed advised the citizenry to cherish their lives because the pandemic is not a comic relief but a matter of life and death.

"The Ghanaian attitude is terrible in every sector. When you take health, our attitude is bad. In sanitation and governance, our attitude is bad . . . There is no regard for social distancing. The people are not observing the protocols and all we're doing is spreading the virus among us," he stated.

He added that "the very nature of our homes and social relationship is such that we tend to get close to one another and therefore if people keep disobeying the protocols", there will be a rapid spread of the disease.
