As part of measures to stop the spread of the deadly coronavirus pandemic, government on June 27, 2020, entreated businesses to stop employees with mild cough from coming to work.
This announcement was made known by the then Minister of Trade and Industry, Alan Kyerematen.
The government of Ghana has issued a directive to factories/enterprises to stop their employees with mild cough from coming to work and seek medical attention immediately.
This is a move by the government to check the spread of COVID-19 at workplaces.
These industries and factories, according to the government guidelines announced by Trades Minister Alan Kyerematen on Thursday, 25 June 2020, must dedicate one room within the factory premises as a holding room to immediately house or quarantine anyone who is suspected to be showing symptoms and signs of COVID-19 and be isolated from others while making arrangements for evacuation.
The measures, Mr Kyerematen noted, feed into the general guidelines and protocols for easing of restrictions such as the use of face masks by all employees, provision of washing stations at vantage points within working areas and regular cleaning and disinfection of surfaces.
