The Ghana Union of Traders’ Association (GUTA), is urging the trading public to go about their businesses while they adhere to the health and safety protocols aimed at curbing the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic as put out health officials.
This follows the announcement by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly, AMA, to disinfect some selected markets in the Greater Accra Region on Monday, March 23, 2020, in its quest to guard against the novel coronavirus pandemic’s spread in Ghana.
A statement signed by the President of the Ghana Union of Traders’ Association, Dr. Joseph Obeng, stated that “GUTA has learnt from the authorities that the exercise that comes off this coming Monday 23rd March, 2020, will not cover the whole of Accra, and therefore shops and businesses where the operation will not affect can open for business and for any other place where the disinfection exercise is not taking place.”
It further noted that, “Inasmuch as GUTA fully supports government and other arms of government in combating this pandemic in order to contain the spread in our dear country, we in GUTA feel that this exercise can be done while ensuring that traders can still do some business, while we still adhere to the precautionary measures put out by President, Nana Akufo-Addo.”
