Disinfection Curbs Spread of Covid-19- Police Commander

The Savannah Regional Police Commander DCOP Enoch Adutwum Bediako has underscored that disinfection is one of the World Health Organization’s approved mechanisms to fight the spread of coronavirus.

He explained that regular disinfecting of touchable surfaces and workspaces helps to get rid of covid-19 tendencies and other infectious viruses.

DCOP Adutwum made the assertion during the disinfection of Savannah Regional Police Command by Zoomlion Ghana Limited on Wednesday, February 10, 2021.

The commander said, the police in the Savannah Region have continuously been educating the residents on the covid-19 protocols.

“Sometimes we go in our patrol vehicles to radio stations to educate the public,” he said.

The Savannah Regional Zoomlion Manager, Kojo Njabore indicated that a total of 15 police stations will benefit from the disinfection exercise.

Touching on the total number of arrests the police command has made he said “so far we have succeeded in arresting about thirty (30) people who breached the covid-19 protocols. We granted them bail after cautioning them,” he noted.

It would be recalled that the police in May last year, launched a nationwide exercise at the Police Training School in Accra to fumigate and disinfect all 1,249 facilities of the service in the country.

The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. James Oppong Boanuh who launched the exercise, said the health and safety of personnel were paramount.
