Areas Madam Awuni visited with her team are Achimota,Abofu,Agbogbloshie Christian village and Akweteyman all in the Okaikoi North constituency.

Speaking to the press, Madam Awuni said there are a lot of people who, for the fear of contracting the virus, have decided to stay home, depriving them of their daily income hence she had to reach out to them as encouraged by NDC flag bearer, H.E John Mahama.

“At the early stages of the coronavirus in the country, I supported my constituents with PPEs and later made considerable  donations, including Veronica buckets to some selected institutions in the constituency like hospitals, police stations, markets, and some palaces of our chiefs,” said Madam Awuni who was elated by her contributions to some Muslim communities in her area.

The NDC candidate also took the opportunity to sensitize the residents on the need to adhere to social distancing, wearing of nose masks and the use of alcohol based hand sanitizers to reduce their risk of getting into contact with the deadly virus that has killed 18 and infected over 3,000 persons in the country.
