Mr Benjamin Kojo Otoo, the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Gomoa Central, made this known in an address at the Second Ordinary Session of the Assembly at Afransi.

According to the DCE, the Assembly’s COVID-19 taskforce ensured strict adherence to the Protocols announced by President Akufo-Addo, the Ghana Health Service and experts to make the District COVID-19 free.

Mr Otoo said the Assembly, in collaboration with the government, has distributed face masks, veronica buckets, and other safety equipment to assist final year students of Senior and Junior High schools to protect them during their final examinations.

He called on the chiefs, heads of Clan and elders in the district to ensure that people followed the arranged protocols for funerals to avoid contracting the disease.

Mr Otoo said veronica buckets, dust bins, rubber bowls, bucket stands, liquid soaps, sanitizers, thermometer guns, nose masks, alcohol rub, fabric, tissue papers, among others were distributed to institutions in the district as part of the efforts to avert the spread of the virus.
