Coronavirus: Ghana s airports are safe - Travelers reassured
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Director of Communications and Corporate Affairs, Zoomlion Ghana Limited, Mrs Emma Akyea-Boakye, has reassured travelers that the country’s airports are safe.
She gave the assurance when Tamale Airport had its turn of the third phase of airport disinfection exercise in the country.
According to her, the exercise has become necessary due to the projected influx of travellers entering making their way into Ghana for the Christmas festive season all over the terminals.
“So with the COVID-19 still lurking around, if we do this disinfection, we are sure that we have targeted the virus, and probably bacteria and any such vector around; so that we reassure our customers that will be passing through the airports and every Ghanaian that the airport is a safe place to go,” she said.
