“Let us strictly adhere to health precautionary measure of getting rid of this disease especially by washing our hands with soap frequently under running water”, the DCE said.

Mr. Botchway gave the advice at a fund raising harvest by the chiefs and people of Breman Jamra as part of activities making this year’s celebration of Odwira Afahye.
