The Ghana Health Service has urged all its officers and staff to ensure that persons who converge at the various polling centers wear their nose masks on Monday December 7.

This will help curb the spread of the coronavirus disease as Ghanaians go to the polls to cast their votes.

In a statement released on Friday December 4th, 2020, it added that 1000 of face masks have been made available at the Regional level.

“In the interest of public health safety, approved staff providing supervisory visits to polling stations, should ensure facemasks are given to voters who turn up without a nose mask.”

It further added that “Over 1,000 facemasks have been made available at the regional level and several hundred at district and sub-district levels, to serve the expected isolated cases without facemasks”.

Meanwhile, it is urging its staff to take their staff ID cards on election day to enable them to vote early.

“Health staff are advised to take their ID cards along for priority voting without queuing.”
