    How to protect yourself from Coronavirus in Ghana

    Mfidie.com is here to educate you on how the virus spreads and how to keep yourself and those you love safe.

    We are here to inform you about the latest coronavirus numbers in Ghana and most importantly how to keep yourself safe as a Ghanaian in the time of this pandemic.

    For the latest updates on cases of Coronavirus in Ghana, click here.

    Be sure to share this with as many people as you can.

    How does Coronavirus spread?

    • The virus is thought to spread mainly through person-to-person contact.
    • Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
    • Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
    • These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.

    How to protect yourself against Coronavirus in Ghana

    Here are the steps to take to protect yourself from Coronavirus in Ghana:

    1. Wear an approved face mask every time you are outside your home, and all the time if you feel sick.
    2. Wash your hands frequently
    3. Maintain social distancing
    4. Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth
    5. Practice respiratory hygiene
    6. If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early
    7. Follow the directions of the Ghana Health Service

    Now, let’s break it down

    Wash your hands frequently.

    Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand. Rub or wash them with soap and water.

    Maintain social distancing

    Maintain at least one metre (three feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing. When someone coughs or sneezes they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain the virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person coughing has the disease

    Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth

    Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and can make you sick.

    Practice respiratory hygiene

    Make sure you and the people around you follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately. Droplets spread the virus. By following good respiratory hygiene you protect the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19.

    If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early

    Stay home if you feel unwell. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention and call in advance.

    In Ghana, the Coronavirus hotline numbers to call are: 0552222004, 0552222005, 0509497700 and 0558439868

    Follow the directions of the Ghana Health Service

    National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on the situation in your area. Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also protect you and help prevent the spread of viruses and other infections

    Frequently Asked Questions about Coronavirus in Ghana

    What are the numbers to call to report a suspected case in Ghana

    In Ghana, the Coronavirus hotline numbers to call are: 0552222004, 0552222005, 0509497700 and 0558439868

    How do you catch or contract coronavirus?

    Coronavirus is thought to be spread by small drops of moisture we release when we sneeze or cough.
    The moisture has to get into your body to make you sick, which means you can catch coronavirus if those droplets get into your eyes, nose or mouth.

    How can you tell if you have Coronavirus?

    The most common symptoms of coronavirus are fever, sore throat, dry cough and fatigue. Other symptoms can also include headaches, nasal congestion or a runny nose.

    How can I prevent myself from getting coronavirus?

    The best way to avoid catching coronavirus from touching a contaminated surface is to wash your hands properly and avoid touching your face.

    How long will the coronavirus last?

    Scientists are working on new technologies to try and develop a vaccine for COVID-19.
    The World Health Organisation said the first vaccines targeting the disease could take 18 months to develop, which would mean August 2021.

  • How to get MTN Data 1GB for GHS 1 with 25GB “Bonus” which doesn’t expire

    How to get MTN Data 1GB for GHS 1 with 25GB “Bonus” which doesn’t expire

    So a lot of people here in Ghana have now got themselves the MTN Turbonet, although the price is now GHS 499.

    Especially with the coronavirus and people looking to work and entertain themselves from home, every Gigabyte of data bought is important.

    The network has been slow for sometime but it seems MTN has planned to undertake “maintenance” and make it better.

    The Telco sent text messages to that effect recently.

    Y’ello Valued Customer, MTN will be undertaking a planned systems upgrade to improve customer experience. As a result, you will experience a disruption in service delivery from 12am to 3:00am on 07/05/2020. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you

    -MTN Ghana via SMS to Subscribers

    Now, how do you enjoy this data? There is a story.

    A friend shared with me how he was enjoying buying data on the MTN Turbonet. Basically, due to the calculations of MTN’s dynamic pricing, you can enjoy GHS 1 for 1GB of data which does not expire.

    Let me state however that this only works on the MTN Turbonet SIM Cards. So if you don’t have the device, then you are out of luck.

    Most people are already used to buying 205.08GB of Data on MTN Turbonet for GHS 299. That’s not bad. But did you know that you could get 120GB more by just inputting GHS 300 when you are buying the data?

    Remember, you will be getting 325GB of data for GHS 300. So you should be willing to spend more to enjoy this.

    Let’s show you how it is done:

    1. Dial *5057# on your Turbonet connected SIM
    2. Choose Buy data
    3. Choose Option 5
    4. Enter amount – 300
    5. Confirm the payment from your airtime or MoMo
    6. You will receive 325GB of Data

    With this deal, it means you have gotten 325GB of data by paying GHS 300.

    Remember, the data does not expire.

    If you have any data deals you would want to share with us, send an email to [email protected] and we would gladly publish.

  • 6 Reasons Businesses Should Take Advantage of TikTok

    Odds are you’ve heard about TikTok, even if it’s just as ‘that lip-syncing app’. To be fair the successor to Musical.ly has been growing by leaps and bounds and is now a full-fledged short video platform that is close to rivalling Snapchat or Instagram.

    On its own, that should already be a reason why your business should think about taking advantage of TikTok and using it as part of your marketing. But if you need more than that, here are six other reasons for you to chew on:

    TikTok has a large (and growing) audience

    The number of people using TikTok is already massive, and it is growing at an impressive rate. Last year there were an estimated 500 million active monthly users, and this year it’s already more than 800 million.

    It should be noted that the recent Coronavirus outbreak has only helped bolster the popularity of the app. In fact the World Health Organization (WHO) has been using it to share public health advice – which is a testament to how effective it is.

    A significant percentage of the audience is from Generation Z

    Compared to other social platforms, a significant percentage of TikTok’s users are from Generation Z. In other words they are young adults who are just graduating, entering the workforce, and acquiring buying power. That is a golden demographic for marketers, and you don’t want to ignore it.

    Impressive levels of engagement

    The delivery algorithms that TikTok uses make it relatively easy to get a ton of engagement and exposure – even on new accounts. Participating in hashtag challenges is one way to do that, and if your video goes viral its engagement will go through the roof. You may also check out different sources to buy TikTok followers to get rapid growth.

    The presentation of the content on TikTok helps on that front too. All videos are displayed in full-screen and with no other distractions for viewers.

    Localization

    Although TikTok may have a global audience from 140 countries, it is a good channel for local marketing. Many creators have proven this by creating community focused videos in various languages and with local hashtags.

    If your business operates in multiple locations, you could even consider creating localized marketing campaigns in different languages for each of them.

    Early bird advantage of TikTok advertising

    TikTok only launched its advertising platform in 2019, which makes it a very attractive option right now for businesses. The early bird advantage will provide you with more reach and higher engagement levels because there is less competition.

    On top of all that TikTok offers up several different types of ads that you can choose from. Each is unique, and you’ll be able to use them to come up with different types of marketing campaigns.

    Shine a different light on your brand

    Make no mistake, TikTok is very different from most other social platforms especially when it comes to the type of content its users prefer. Its videos are light, fun and entertaining – which is an opportunity for your business to shine a different light on its brand.

    The TikTok content that you create can authentically show the ‘fun’ side of your business. That type of content can make your business more relatable, put a human face on it, and help it connect to potential customers more effectively.

    Are those enough reasons for you to start taking TikTok seriously? Odds are in the next one or two years it will be just as popular as other large social platforms – so why miss the opportunity to get in early?

    If you do decide that your business wants to take advantage of TikTok’s potential, the next question is: How? The good news is that there are several options that you can consider on that front, such as influencer marketing, TikTok advertising, or creating your own videos and hashtag challenges.

    Simply put, if and when you decide to take the next step – there are lots of options to choose from.

  • How Does Pricing Work For Online Divorce Services?

    How Does Pricing Work For Online Divorce Services?

    With the rise of the technology fields, we are seeing tech inventions everywhere. There

    is no chance that you will go out of your house and see nothing that was affected by the technology.

    And that means that you will have to accept the fact that it has changed our lives

    forever. Sometimes that even surprises us, as we are seeing those tech inventions in the fields that are not related to the technology in any way.

    One such field is the marriage field. That is where people find out about all of the news

    only when they need to use the field. For example, not everyone knows that you can

    easily marry online. All you have to do is just get all of the needed information, upload it,

    and your papers for the marriage will be done. However, with everything like this

    happening, we are also seeing that the value of a true relationship is getting lower every

    year.

    And it is hard to give people a clue that the divorce process is not going to be as easy,

    as their marriage was. Sure, you have all of the awesome services, like Washington

    divorce online services, but you are still required to do quite a lot. Yet, when it comes to

    choosing what to do, many still use the services. And that is a nice decision to make, as

    it will make your life much easier. This article is here to tell you more about these kinds of services.

    1. What are the online divorce services?

    If you take a closer look at the online divorce services, you will realize that those are an

    awesome chance to save your money and time. Moreover, they are designed to do so.

    Imagine having to pay $20000-$30000 for a lawyer just to be able to finish the case

    with a ‘win’.

    Well, that will most likely have no meaning at all, as you will lose more than gain.

    Therefore, when you are applying for a divorce, every piece of money matters. And that

    is where the online divorce services are going to come in handy. They are the websites

    that hire professional divorce people who are working hard to give you the high-quality

    documents for your divorce. Moreover, you may already know how hard divorce can be.

    And that is something that those services also help with.

    They allow you to ask questions about the divorce process. And, in most cases, any

    legal question will also be answered there. So, if you are looking to have an easy divorce, make sure that you use one of these websites.

    2. What are the pros of an online divorce service?

    The best part about online divorce services is the fact that they will save you money

    and time. Just try to think that you are in a situation where everything is decided and

    the only thing that you have to do is just get rid of that official status.

    Sure, you have a choice to go to a lawyer to have those papers written. And that might

    be the right thing to do, as they will surely make everything perfectly. However, that will

    cost you hundreds of dollars. Another way to do that is to write all of the documents on

    your own. Which is also not the best thing to do if you are limited on time.

    Therefore, choosing a service that will do that as fast as possible for a reasonable

    price is the best option. However, if you have a tough case, do not expect such

    services to do everything for you. The only way out of there is to hire an attorney.

    3. How to choose the best online divorce service?

    When you have already decided to use the services, it is time to take a look at how

    to choose the best one. There are tons of services online everywhere. Therefore,

    you will have to take a look at many factors to choose the best one. One of the

    things that you have to remember is not to use the cheapest ones.

    Those are the services that are designed to scam you. They will either get away

    with your money or just send you the documents that will not work out in the

    court. Another thing that you have to take a look at is the support team. Sure, you

    may not need it at all. However, that will be a great thing to have in case something happens.

  • Information On How Online Divorce Services Work

    Information On How Online Divorce Services Work

    It is hard not to notice that the technologies are taking over our lives. The

    importance of gadgets is so high that we cannot imagine our lives without leaving

    the house with a dead phone. And that has lead to a situation where a lot of

    services also realize how much time people spend online.

    Therefore, they move online instead of having to pay for offices and other things.

    One of the fields that also moved online is the marriage industry. It might surprise

    you, but you can easily marry online nowadays. And that is something that has

    made a huge difference in how people treat their relationships.

    They think that they will be able to divorce as easily as they married. Well, that is

    not true, as the divorce process takes much more time and is much harder. Sure,

    you have services like onlinedivorcer.com to help you. Yet, you still have to go

    through a lot on your own. You may also need to hire a lawyer if the case is too

    difficult for the service. With all of this, you will surely want to know what your

    options are at this point. Here is some information.

    1. What are the online divorce services?

    Once you have decided for yourself that you need help, it is time to take a look at

    what you can do. The best option out of all is to use online divorce services.

    Those are the websites that allow you to upload the information online and get all

    of the papers done for you. However, that will require some time and money. Yet, if

    you compare that to the divorce lawyers, you will be surprised by how much you

    are saving by using this way. These services only hire people with experience, as

    the new people often have no idea how to deal with the problems. Also, they do

    not only do the papers. You can ask them some of the legal questions on the divorce topic. In many cases, they will find a way to help you out.

    2. What are the pros of using online divorce services?

    The biggest pro of using an online divorce service is money. No matter how much

    money you have, you will want to save more. And that is fine, as people do need

    some extra when they are divorcing.

    Therefore, if you are looking for something like that, the services are the best

    choice for you. Another awesome fact about online services is the fact that you

    can save a lot of time by using them. There is no need to wait for months for the papers to be done because your lawyer has other clients.

    They will be done as fast as you wish. Sure, that may not be able to happen

    overnight. However, you can expect some good timing. And, of course, the fact

    that those services work all of the time is an awesome addition to everything else.

    3. How to choose the best online divorce service?

    The first thing that you want to look at is the pricing. If it seems too good, make

    sure to check all of the reviews. There is no way that one service will have prices

    that are twice cheaper than all of the market. Sure, some kind of young service might do that to advertise themselves.

    However, if that is a service that has been around for some time, make sure to

    avoid it. Another important thing is the 24/7 support team. You may not need

    them at the moment. However, when that moment comes, make sure that you

    have someone to talk to. The great news is, almost all of the popular services do

    have an always-online support team.

    They may not be able to answer some of the questions, as they are mostly

    working on the quality of the products and things like that. However, in someways, they may be useful to you.

    Ghana stops manual Passport Application; Only online process works now

    Starting today, 1st March 2020, Ghanaians will no longer be able to use the manual passport application process.

    This is because the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has stopped the use of manual passport application platform.

    Don’t worry, you can still apply for a Ghana passport by following the online process here.

    An earlier release from the Ministry has directed passport applicants to use the online passport application platform, passport.mfa.gov.gh to submit their applications.

    “The measure will enhance service delivery to the Ghanaian public,” the notice stated.

    It also noted that the online passport application is now available at all Passport Application Centres. This latest reform follows Parliament approving an upward review of passport application fees in February.

    Here are the new prices of Passport Related Services in Ghana:

    Application Type Booklet Pages Price (GHS)
    Standard Application 32 100.00
    Standard Application 48 150.00

    Expedited Application 48 200.00
    Attestation of Legal Documents – 37.50
    Travel Certificate – 37.50

    Ghana also extended the validity period of the country’s ordinary passport booklets from five years back to 10 years.

    The extension followed complaints by some Ghanaians that the five-year validity period was too short. The new extension will help reduce queues at the passport application centres in the long run.
