The Minister for Transport, Kweku Ofori Asiamah has indicated that transport operators have requested jingles on Covid-19 infection and preventive measures issued by the Ministry of Health to play in public transport as part of efforts to support the fight.

The Minister made this known at a press briefing today in Accra on the country’s response to COVID-19.

Speaking at the press briefing, the Transport Minister Mr Asiamah indicated that the industry is in compliance with the directive of the Ministry of Health stating some measures put in place to aid in the fight of Covid-19 at various bus terminals across the country.

”This is a health issue we need to adapt to the Ministry of Health directive of washing hands under running water with soap for and applying sanitizers passengers at loading terminals. The Public address system at their loading terminals must inform the drivers and passengers of Covid-19 infection. The transport operators have requested for us to help them provide messages on pen drives so that instead of playing music in their buses, they will play these messages in to drum the messages to the people”.
