He also donated 10 PPEs to the Municipal Health Directorate, saying the Personal Protective Equipment will help protect frontline health workers in fighting the rapid growth of the pandemic.
Addressing the gathering, he said he was using the project to educate the people about the disease and to protect themselves adequately from it.
He said, volunteers from NADMO, political support groups have made their people available and through the effort of the Municipal Health Director, they have been trained as volunteers on how they can educate the public on the disease.
He also outdoored about 100 volunteers who were trained over the weekend to start educating the public in the municipality particularly at lorry stations, markets on how to stop the spread.
Mr Opare Ansah said about twenty vantage points in the municipality will have polytanks to provide free water to fight the disease.
