Some major markets in the North East Region have been disinfected to keep them clean as part of efforts to prevent diseases.
This was in line with the Emergency National Disinfection Exercise against COVID-19 being championed by the government since the emergence of the disease in the country early last month.
The Nalerigu, Gambaga, Lingbinsi and Walewale Markets were amongst those disinfected in the Region.
Mr Solomon Namlit Boar, North East Regional Minister, who joined a team of personnel to undertake the exercise in the Nalerigu and Gambaga Markets, was hopeful that it would help keep the markets safe from the disease amongst other infections.
Mr Boar said residents had been sensitised on the COVID-19 and advised to adhere to all the precautionary measures to help suppress the peak of the disease in the country.
He assured residents that the security agencies especially the Ghana Immigration Service stationed along the Ghana-Togo borders in the Region were on high alert to prevent movement to and fro the Region.
