“Just as the first we had a call from the police authorities to disinfect all their police stations, posts, the barracks, and all their entities for them. Looking at the uprise of the second phase of the coronavirus, we need to step up our game to ensure that we eliminate the virus from the system”, he stated.

“We are anticipating to do over 130 police stations and post across the Greater Region and we are using a maximum of two days to finish the exercise”, he added.
