Bono East Regional Minister, Honourable Kwasi Adu Gyan has revealed that the region's Coordinating Council will be treating the Covid-19 Pandemic as a security threat.
This according to the Minister has become very necessary after it was reported by the Ghana Health Service that, the Bono East region, as well as the Volta region, are hotspot zones for the new Delta variant.
Hon Adu Gyan said they have already gotten the blessings of the Traditional leaders to involve all the various security institutions in the region in the fight against Covid-19.
"We and Nananom have agreed to treat the Covid-19 as a security threat, the police, military and all the security agents will be involved in this fight".
Addressing the Media, Hon Adu Gyan said all mass gatherings henceforth must strictly follow all safety protocols as labelled by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in his addresses to the nation.
He further disclosed that persons who flaunt the protocols will be prosecuted including the failure of wearing a nose mask.
