General News of Saturday, 21 November 2020Source: GNAPublic drops guard on COVID-19 safety protocols in Volta, Oti regionsFile photo of a market streetDisregard for precautionary and safety protocols to fight the spread of COVID-19 pandemic has dipped in the Volta and Oti regions. An observation conducted by the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in key Municipal and District Assemblies in the two regions indicates an outright disregard for the observance of the safety protocols after monitoring key institutions and public places. Worse offenders doing a disservice to the maintenance of the safety protocols are traders at the markets, passengers, and drivers at lorry stations and pubs. She added that during the first wave of COVID-19, people adhered to the safety protocols strictly but when it decreased they relaxed and are not practising it, especially wearing nose masks and social distancing. There was a different scenario when the team visited some schools in the Municipality, where students including staff were observing the various COVID-19 protocols.
