Inter defender Kwadwo Asamoah has given an insight into what life has been like in self isolation for the past two weeks in an interview with Ghanaian radio station Peace FM earlier on today.
Asamoah and the rest of the Inter squad were placed into a mandatory two week self isolation period after coming into contact with Juventus defender Daniele Rugani just days before he tested positive for Coronavirus.
Asamoah started by admitting that people did not take what has turned into a rather horrendous situation seriously to begin with.
“The situation in Italy has now worsened and I will say that it is not good. I am fine but the conditions here are very bad. For now we cannot go nowhere.
“All training has been cancelled and everything has been closed here in Milan. It has not been easy. We didn’t take this seriously at first. People continued to carry out their daily activities and that is why the virus spread so quickly.”
He then went on to speak about the fact that Rugani and several other football players across Italy and elsewhere in the world have contracted the virus.
“So far no Inter players have contracted the disease. It is worrying to know that some players have contracted the virus, especially players at Juventus because they are the last team we played against before the break. Today even when you have a normal cough you get scared and you think you have the virus.”
In conclusion, the full back, who joined Inter on a free transfer in the Summer of 2018, urged the Ghanaian population to take things seriously and urged them to follow any advice given by officials.
“I advise the Ghanaians to take this virus seriously. At this point they should refrain from social gatherings. It is not easy and they should follow the instructions provided by doctors and government officials.”
