Coronavirus: Watch as Baffoe recommends ‘Wakanda salute’ to curb Covid-19

Former Ghana international Anthony Baffoe has recommended the ‘no handshake challenge’ to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus around Africa.

In a video clip, the 54-year-old, who is deputy general secretary of the Confederation of African Football (Caf), explains the importance of washing hands.

He also demonstrated a routine to curb the pandemic, while urging that the 'Wakanda salute' be used instead of a handshake.

“This is to all football stakeholders, current players, former players, legends, coaches and the referees to keep your hands safe. Don't use the handshake, it's better to use the Wakanda.
