On receiving the PPEs and supplies, the leader of the market women expressed her sincere gratitude to the Queen Mother for remembering them and also recognizing them as essential service providers who are at risk of the virus due to their activities in the market.
Mama Agbaledzokpui II,, in her presentation of the items, admonished the market women to make good use of the items they were receiving and also educate them on the safety protocols to be observed in order to prevent the spread of the virus including; washing of hands with soap under running water, using hand sanitizer where necessary, observing safe social distancing in addition to wearing the nose masks at all times when in public or interacting with others.
