A STAFF TESTED POSITIVE AT A FILLING STATION AT DOME KWABENYA
Adhering strictly to health
protocols and safety tips during this time of COVID-19 outbreak are crucial to prevent a faster spread of the virus and slow the rate of infection.
However, my attention has been drawn to a COVID-19 case in the Dome-Kwabenya constituency which raises serious health concerns to the constituents. The case in question refers to a Filling Station in the constituency which has been closed down because a staff tested positive for COVID-19.
Inasmuch as I will commend the local health officials for closing down the Fuel Station, it is quite worrying to allow the entire staff to go home without any form of quarantine or isolation.
A STAFF TESTED POSITIVE COVID-19
Verified information also shows that they were recalled for their samples to be taken when their colleague tested positive and was asked to return home.
This is disturbing and puts the entire constituency in particular, and Ghanaians in general, at risk in times like this. This raises a few questions:
Why were the filling station staff not quarantined and were asked to go home?
Could the staff who tested positive have come into any form of contact with a colleague?
What form of the psychological process have they taken the staff through to allay their fears?
A STAFF TESTED POSITIVE COVID-19
In the event one or two of the staff may have come into contact with their colleague who tested positive, what measures have been put in place to ensure that they also do not come into contact with family members at home?
I want to call on the health authorities in the constituency to raise the bar when it comes to handling issues surrounding COVID-19 because the slightest form of negligence and oversight will put the entire nation at risk. Our health is our wealth and we need to be on the alert to protect everyone.
