He urged the media to continue the good work and hinted that Equator Foods are planning to provide breakfast for the security service personnel who are checking on the traffic in the capital during the extended lockdown period.

Williams who is also CEO of Dreamland Sports Plus and youth coordinator of the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC) appealed to the youth and senior citizens to abide by the health and safety protocols to stay at home, wash hands with soap regularly and use sanitizers.

He also urged Ghanaians to observe social distance and do some exercises to keep fit.
