The Catholic Metropolitan Archbishop of Cape Coast, the Most Reverend Charles Gabriel Palmer-Buckle has taken to social media to announce that he recently tested positive for coronavirus.
In a video shot, he shared online, Archbishop Palmer-Buckle revealed that he was undergoing treatment for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) at the Ga East Hospital infectious disease center in Accra.
In the video he shared from the hospital gardens, Archbishop Palmer-Buckle said, “I just thought sending this message out to those of you who are my loved ones, at least it will let you know, I have survived it for five days and therefore I encourage anybody who is afflicted not to be afraid because, yes COVID is real but healing is equally real if we will do the best.”
He also advised people to make sure they practice the three Ps, that is pray, observe the protocols and pray more. “
“My advice is what I call the three ‘P’s – prayer, protocols and prayer – and you can add two more to it, and protocols and prayer so it becomes five ‘P’s. Let us continue praying, thanking God for the doctors, the nurses, the front line workers and the great good job they are doing. They are really stretched out and stressed out, they need our prayerful support, love and and concern for themselves and anything God can help them to do,” he added.
