Cape Coast The Management of the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly (CCMA) has served notice to the general public that wearing of face mask would be mandatory, effective Sunday, April 26.
In this regard, all
private and public institutions including banks, hospitals, lorry stations
among others had been directed to put a notice of “No Nose Mask, No entry” at
the entrance of their offices.
The Assembly in a statement issued and copied to
the Ghana News Agency (GNA) directed all public and private institutions to
ensure that their staff and visitors wore face mask.
It encouraged commercial drivers to ensure that
passengers wore nose mask before boarding vehicles while market women, traders,
food vendors and hawkers were also to wear mask in the course of their work.
In a related development, the CCMA had also
suspended “Sunday market” Activities in Kotokuraba and Abura as well as the
Thursday (Yowda) market, effective Sunday April 26 until further notice.
This, it said formed part of the precautionary
measures to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic in the
Metropolis.
Sundays are usually market days in the Cape
Coast Metropolis where traders from its neighbouring towns and villages troop
in to trade.
