Coronavirus: France-based Ghana defender Opoku makes passionate plea

Ghana centre-back Nicholas Opoku has expressed his concern about the growing global disruptions of the coronavirus pandemic.

The disease, also known as Covid-19, has almost brought the world to a standstill in a desperate attempt to curb the growing number of infections and fatalities.

Over 260,000 people have been infected while more than 11,000 deaths have been recorded, resulting in a halt of almost all sporting competitions, among others.

"As we already know, we're in a difficult time right now. This coronavirus is causing a lot of damages in a lot of things in the whole world," Opoku said in a video posted by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) on social media.
