Due to non-compliance with the COVID-19 protocols during burials, the Shai-Osudoku District Assembly has instructed families to ensure they obtain appropriate permits before they bury their loved ones.
The assembly wants to prevent the likely spread of the disease as a result of non-compliance.
According to the assembly, those who failed to abide by this bye-law will be sanctioned accordingly.
The sanctions include a fine of not less than 250 penalty units or imprisonment of not less than six months or both in case of continuing offence as stipulated by the bye-laws of the assembly.
Even though these bye-laws already exist, the assembly in the Greater Accra Region has embarked on its strict enforcement as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
