As
part of efforts to contain further spread of coronavirus in the country, the
Banjul Diaspora Club through the Banjul City Council (BCC) on Monday presented
a sum of D100,000 to the Covid-19 Taskforce team in Banjul.
The
move is designed to enhance and strengthen the work of the said taskforce as
they battle to contain further spread of Covid-19 in the country.
The
presentation ceremony, which was held at the BCC complex, was graced by health
personnel from Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital (EFSTH).
Dr.
Abubacarr Jagne, the head of Covid-19 Taskforce team, while thanking the Banjul
Diaspora Club for the gesture, advised Gambians to adhere to the World Health
Organisation’s recommended safety precautions to stay safe.
The
gesture, he added, would go a long way in solving some of the challenges faced
by the committee in their quest to contain the deadly virus in the country.
Dr.
Jagne also called on parents to pay particular attention to their children at
home and to follow their school lessons broadcast on television and radio
stations.
He
promised that the monies donated would be put to good use.
For her part, Rohey Malick Lowe, the mayoress
