The Executive Committee of the Ghana Trades Union Congress (TUC-Ghana) has called on workers across the country to strictly observe all COVID-19 safety protocols per the World Health Organisation and Ghana Health Service directives.
TUC-Ghana in a statement signed by Dr. Yaw Baah, the Secretary-General, said the wearing of face masks, social distancing, frequent handwashing, and the use of hand sanitisers should not stop in this new year.
“The number of active cases remains quite high,” it stated.
The TUC-Ghana called on Union leaders to ensure that appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) are provided by their employers at every workplace.
“There was strong evidence that effective use of the PPEs help to protect us from infection,” it said.
The statement commended its heroes and heroines, who were working in the health sector, and urged the government to do whatever is needed to protect them from infection.
“We are confident that the government will work tirelessly to ensure an adequate supply of Covid-19 vaccines in Ghana as soon as possible,” the statement added.
