With the surge in Covid-19 infections across the country, Zoomlion Ghana Limited and its subsidiary, Vectorpes, have partnered the media to begun a “Free Community Disinfection”, aimed at stepping up the fight against the virus.
The Free Community Disinfection, which will last for one week, spanning from January 23 – 30, 2021, will cover orphanages, households, churches, mosques, corporate institutions among others.
It is targeted at curbing the spread of the disease in the communities.
Speaking to the media during the launch of the exercise at the Ghana Armed Forces Command and Staff College (GAFCSC) Saturday, the Coordinator of the Free Community Disinfection, Lola Asiseh Ashitey, explained the current surge in cases informed their decision.
“…and also our continuous effort to support the government in its fight against Covid-19, especially when we are experiencing a surge in Covid cases in the country,” she added.

Mrs. Ashitey indicated her outfit will first be disinfecting orphanages and deprived institutions before moving into households.
“All you need to do is to call our media partners who will be drumming home the message so we can come and render this free service to you,” she urged.
