General News of Tuesday, 5 May 2020Source: GNATema yet to fully embrace coronavirus protocolsSome residents say they cannot breathe well when they're in nose maskSome residents in the Tema Metropolis do not wear nose masks and they walk and sit close to each other against protocols to contain the COVID-19. The Tema Metropolis, according to its Chief Executive, had recorded 13 COVID-19 positive cases out of which eight contracted it in the community while the remaining five were imported. A visit to some communities in the Tema Metropolis especially, the business area, showed that a number of commuters who were in town to either buy from the market or were going about their normal business, were not wearing the nose mask. While majority of the Tema-Ashaiman floating commercial (trotro) drivers either had the nose masks not properly worn, their conductors were not wearing one as they freely picked passengers who did not have their nose masks on. People who had gathered to watch the match were not wearing nose masks as they cheered their favourite team on with some mingling freely without a protective gear.
