Some suspected criminals in police cells in the Greater Region have tested positive for coronavirus, revealed Accra Regional Police Commander DCOP Fred Adu-Anim.
He told reporters on Saturday that suspects in his cells who tested positive for the deadly virus have since been isolated.
“We have tested some of the police officers and are awaiting the results,” he said during a clean-up exercise at the Accra Regional Police headquarters by Zoomlion, which also saw the company disinfect the site.
On Wednesday, the Ghana Police Service partnered with waste management giants Zoomlion Ghana Limited to carry out massive spraying and disinfection of all police facilities and facilities across the country.
Nicknamed “National Police Disinfection and Fumigation Exercise-Zoomlion”, the project will see the six police training schools in the country, police stations and cells, barracks and their offices, among other facilities.
Commenting on Saturday’s exercise, Jospong’s head of corporate communications, Zoomlion owner Sophia Lissah, said the disinfection and fumigation project was critical because police are among the line workers in the fight against the coronavirus in Ghana.
“The Greater Accra Region has 14 divisions and this is one of them. Today all the divisions are carrying out this exercise, but the disinfestation is happening only in this center where we have the cells, the attack force, etc. … but then the other areas will be scheduled for next week, “he said.
She said the project is quite unique because “apart from the officers, you realize that they are all together; the police, the inmates in the cells, the (police) family, they all live together in a community, so if you have it, it becomes a little expensive; you cannot know what will happen, so it is key for us that while we do this, we are looking at all the people here “
