The Koforidua - Effiduase District Minister of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Rev Ebenezer Acheampong Asiedu has admonished Ghanaians to give back to society especially the lower level of their alma mater in the fight against the deadly corona virus. He said the disease is real and fighting it should not be seen as a sole responsibility of the government but collective effort of all.

Rev. Asiedu who is also the Local Manager of Effiduase Presby Basic School said this when the old students of the school donated some Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) worth fifteen thousand cedis (15,000) to the school. The items include 1,100 reusable nose masks, 13 gallons of liquid soap, 10 gallons of hand sanitizer, six portable duraplast hand washing basins and five thermometer guns.
