MUSIGA on #CoronaVirus: Urges Musicians & Industry players to adhere to Government, Ministry of Health directives
The Musicians Union of Ghana has noted with great concern the developments regarding the novel Corona Virus. We are in full support of the government of Ghana’s efforts to curb the spread of the virus.
All members are advised to obey the directives from the Ghana Health Service and the Government of Ghana. We would further like to advice musicians who have travelled overseas in the last two weeks to self-quarantine for the prescribed 14 days and call the government provided helplines as soon as they feel or start to experience any symptoms. For those who are yet to arrive back in the country due to cancelled shows, the Union would advice that they submit themselves for voluntary testing and to self isolate until health officials clear them.
To musicians in the country, this is the time to show love to your fans. As millions of students and families are home, we would admonish all musicians to take time to understand the personal hygiene routines recommended by the Ghana Health Service and trumpet it through social media and other digital platforms available to us.
The Musician’s Union of Ghana will roll out a comprehensive educational plan in conjunction with the sector ministry and the Ghana Health Service in the coming days.
Signed
Besa Simon
Ag. President
