Shai Osudoku (G/A), July 10, GNA – The Information Services Department of the Shai Osudoku District Assembly has distributed personal protective equipment (PPE) to residents to support the adherence of the COVID-19 safety protocols.
The items; 1,000 each of nose masks and hand sanitizers, were distributed to residents of Agomeda, Kordiabe, Doryumu, Manya Jorpanya and Asutuare in the Greater Accra Region.
Mrs Cornelia Asante-Obeng, the District Information Officer, who led the team, urged the people to abide by the safety measures to ensure their own safety and that of their families.
