General News of Sunday, 14 June 2020Source: www.ghanaweb.comWe are not carriers of coronavirus, stop tagging us – Person with Albinismplay videoKwame Andrews Daklo is a person living with albinismA social worker living with albinism, Kwame Andrews Daklo, says it is unfair for persons with albinism to be tagged as coronavirus carriers due to their condition. Speaking to GhanaWeb, the social worker raised concerns about the need to dispel such notions because it has no scientific backing. “I was out one last night and when a certain guy saw me, he started shouting, ‘coronavirus man! Coronavirus man!’ but I did not even bother to mind him because I was in a hurry, so I just walked away.”“This is a popular experience I keep encountering since the coronavirus pandemic hit all aspects of the world. Opportunistic witch doctors incite violence by peddling the myth that the body parts of a person with albinism can generate wealth and fortune when used in witchcraft,” Kwame said.
