The Atebubu Amantin Divisional Police Command has arrested more than 30 persons for deliberately flouting the Covid-19 pandemic safety protocols, especially the wearing of nose masks.

They were arrested along the streets of Atebubu Township and around the main market to help prevent the spread of the virus.

Chief Superintendent Bright Boafo, Municipal Police Commander speaking to the press said the operation was to enforce the President’s directive on Covid-19.

The offenders were later granted Police enquiry bail.

He said “Each and every one of us is needed alive to contribute his or her quota towards the total development of the country and we should be law-abiding”, he said.

Chief Supt Boafo said the police will continue to enforce the directives since the virus has no respect for any person.

He warned that people who violate the protocols will be arrested and prosecuted to serve as a deterrent to others.
