Sefwi Wiawso DVLA adheres to COVID-19 measures

Sefwi Wiawso(W/N), June 9, GNA- As part of measures to fight the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Sefwi Wiawso branch of the Drivers and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has put in place some measures to protect clients who visit the office.

Mr. Robert Aklamanu, the Municipal Manager, who disclosed this to the media, said the necessary protocols like social distancing, washing of hands with soap under running water, wearing of nose masks and the use of hand sanitizers were put in place at the office.

He said management had also put stringent safety measures in place to protect customers and staff of DVLA.

“The number of workers and clients that attend the office have been reduced and compulsory wearing of nose masks before an officer attends to a client were being practiced by the authorities. We have also provided enough thermometer guns to check the temperature of every staff or client before entering the office,” he added.

Mr. Aklamanu acknowledged that the COVID-19 pandemic had greatly affected their work, stressing that, before the COVID-19, they used to go out to register and educate drivers, but now it was not possible to embark on such programmes, resulting in low turnout.

He noted that the measures put in place by the DVLA were clear indications that they cared about their staff and clients.

He in this regard advised Ghanaians especially drivers to adhere to the safety protocols by reducing the number of passengers they carry in their vehicles, wear nose and face masks, regularly use hand sanitizers as well as ensure passengers wore their nose masks.
