The Federation has been donating personal protective equipment and essential vitamins to the Rugby fraternity and some Ghanaian communities to help mitigate the virus and also embarking on awareness campaign aimed at educating Ghanaians on the need to practice the Coronavirus safety protocols.
They have also conducted the Coronavirus tests over 150 times with 12 people testing positive. This makes them the only sports federation to carry out the highest number of Coronavirus tests on its members.
He acknowledged Rugby Africa for its supports, Interplast Limited – a plastic fabrication company in Accra for assisting some members of the Union to undergo successful surgeries as well as other contributions during this Coronavirus season.
Mr. Herbert Mensah also thanked Sunda International ( a comprehensive transnational industrial group integrated with overseas industry manufacturing, international trade, industrial investment, consultation service, information technology service) for providing personal protective equipment (PPE’s) and other medical equipment in the fight against the deadly coronavirus.
