Twifo-Praso (C/R),
March 26, GNA – To combat the rapid spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), Mr
Robert Agyemang Nyantakyi, the Twifo-Atimokwa District Chief Executive (DCE)
has supplied quantities of kits to key institutions in the area as well as to
the public.

In addition to that,
the Assembly had scaled up public education to reach out to all regardless of
one’s geographical location with the support of all relevant stakeholders.

Each Kits contained
hand sanitizers, Veronica buckets, tissues and liquid soap. They were
distributed to high risk areas including market, lorry stations, traders and
corporate entities.

Mr Nyantekyi
encouraged all to keep social distances and wash their hands under running
water to support the government’s effort in curbing the spread of the deadly
disease.

The President of
Ghana has banned most social gatherings including funerals, schools, churches,
and mosques, but markets and lorry stations are still in operation.

He, however,
encouraged the markets and other vantage points to keep to strict hygienic
practices.

The markets and
lorry stations are some of the areas which are highly prone to the transmission
of the disease.

The President
instructed that the hand washing kits be provided at all vantage points within
the markets and other designated places in district, to mitigate the spread of
the infectious disease.

Mr Nyantekyi urged
Parents to be responsible for the maximum health protection, upkeep and strict
adherence to the laid down safety precautions for themselves and their
children.

Children, on the
other had were charged to adhere to the measures that protected their health
and security in this critical period and desist from patronizing game
centres.    

To sustain the gains
made at containing the disease, the DCE also called on philanthropists to
donate more of the kits to help prevent any possible community-to-community
transmission of Codvid-19.
