African nations have been receiving aids from other more developed countries in an effort to combat the deadly coronavirus virus that is taking the world by storm.

Ghana received its own packet of aid from China a few days ago as part of the combined effort and Yvonne Nelson has stated that the consequences of receiving help from China might outweigh the immediate advantages as China might be using the aid as an effort to make Ghana subservient.

Yvonne Nelson who constantly advocates for an independent Africa has claimed that Ghana will suffer for the aid it has received in the end. In a tweet, the only Ghanaian actress who has been critical of governments said “The Aid africa is getting isnt for free…..we will pay for it later….they will come and mine and mine and mine and mine and leave us hollow!!! For now give way to our new colonial masters to save the day! Check my old tweets about our new masters!”.

The items given to Ghana were Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) to support health workers who are at the frontline of the fight against the deadly virus, as the health workers on the frontline are the ones most susceptible to the virus with their close proximities to infected patients. 

The President during his sixth update on measures the country has put in place to ensure coronavirus is contained in Ghana used the opportunity to thank the Chinese government for the aid and called for more support and collaboration during the period.

Ghana is currently battling COVID-19 and several measures have been put in place to protect the citizenry and prevent the numbers from escalating.

Ghana’s current positive cases stand at 566 whiles deaths due to the virus are 8 in number.
