Covid-19 Fight: Our airports are safe —Travelers reassured


In the wake of Covid-19, the Director of Communications and Corporate Affairs, Zoomlion Ghana Limited, 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 because very soon the country would switch into the Christmas festive mood which would see the influx of travelers all over the terminals.

So with the Covid 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.

However, Akyea-Boakye said in addition to the disinfection, it was imperative that travelers continued to observe the Covid-19 protocols by wearing nose masks and using alcohol-based hand sanitisers.

…you should also ensure you have your nose mask and you are keeping up with the hand washing and with the use of the sanitisers,” she added.




She indicated that her outfit had already disinfected the Kotoka International and Kumasi Airports.
