The President of the Greater Accra Market Women Association, Madam Mercy Naa Afrowa Needham, has appealed to the public to desist from the practice of physically touching foodstuffs in the markets to weigh them before buying.
According to her, the practice of physically turning foodstuffs in-and-out in the market is unhygienic and could help spread COVID-19, particularly if the person touching the foodstuff has the disease.
She said many people who go to the markets to buy foodstuffs such as cassava continually keep picking food items to weigh and examine them in their hands before settling on which one to buy.
