Ghana quickly became one of the African countries with the most Coronavirus cases. It also became one of the top countries to fight against the virus outbreak. The Ghanaian Government took no chances in dealing with the menace. 

Today, Ghana is almost on the verge of a 2nd wave of the virus sweeping the nation, with currently just under 50,000 cases and remarkably only 350 deaths to date.

On 1st September, Ghana re-opened its international airport, Kotoka International Airport, and resumed commercial flights, and since the summer of 2020, the country has seen some kind of normal again, including restaurants, bars, tourist sites and public events all back on again, with the exception of beaches, nightclubs and cinemas still closed. However, things aren’t quite the same as they were back in March in Ghana, and I decided to catch up with a few travellers and contacts of mine from different backgrounds and industries, to explore how their professional and personal lives have been affected by this outbreak.
