Municipal Chief Executive for Jomoro, Ernest Kofie, has bemoaned the difficulty the Assembly is encountering to get places within the community to quarantine 20 suspected COVID-19 cases whose samples have been sent for testing.

According to him people were afraid to allow the suspected COVID-19 patients to be quarantined in their communities. Mr. Kofie therefore appealed to the Chiefs and Elders within the Municipality to assist the Assembly to get places to be used as quarantine.

Mr. Kofie said apart from the 20 suspected persons, the committee in conjunction with the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has also encountered 50 Ghanaians believed to have travelled from Accra and Kumasi crossing through unapproved borders to Cote D’Ivoire.

He said though the Municipality has not recorded any positive case yet, it would only be prudent for the Assembly to intensify its campaign to sensitize people in the area on the need to adhere to the WHO safety protocols on covid-19.

He said the Assembly in collaboration with the MP, Paul Essien has donated Veronica buckets and nose masks to people in the area.

Mr. Kofie lauded health workers, security personnel especially the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) for their sense of commitment and dedication to duty.
