The initiative is to help protect community members from the novel coronavirus disease (Covid-19). “We are here to hand over the masks to the leaders of the landing beach committee for onward distribution to the fishermen here and everybody who comes to the fishing harbour,” he stressed. He admonished the fishermen to ensure that they washed and ironed the masks after using them. Samuel Addotey, the Landing Beach Committee chairman at the harbour, was worried that most of the people who visited the fishing harbour did not wear masks.
