Shortage Of Akpeteshie Hits Volta Region For The First Time In History Amidst Coronavirus Fear

The Volta Region of Ghana, for the first time, has recorded massive shortage of akpeteshie in the region due to the outbreak of the life-threatening coronavirus in the country.

The shortage of locally manufactured drink is due to high patronage by natives since there has been a massive hike in prices of hand sanitizers across the region and the country as a whole.

The masses have resorted to drinking and using it as a sanitizer even though health officials never advised citizens to use it but rather advised the use of “alcohol based sanitizers” to wash hands, celebritiesbuzz.com.gh reports.

The drink used to sell for 50p for 1 tot but as the demand has risen in the region, bartenders are selling it for 2.00gh a tot.

With the virus being contagious and Ghana recording its 7th coronavirus case, citizens are finding new ways to protect themselves from the virus before it kills them.
