He admonished them to regularly wash their hands under running water with soap, use alcohol-based hand sanitisers, observe social and physical distancing and wear nose masks as prescribed by the Ghana Health Services (GHS) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) to ensure that they do not contract the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
