In his address, the PC stated that the fight against the pandemic was a shared responsibility and encouraged the public to spread the message of calm and hope, and not fear. He reiterated government's e effort in managing the situation and admonished all to stick strictly to the directives and measures taken by the Nana Addo government.

He gave the assurance that several other initiatives which impact directly on the lives of people were his concern and he would do even more when given the mandate to represent the people as their Member of Parliament come December 7.

The exercise is still ongoing and expected to end only when all major "spots" have been served.
