The ministry of health has written to the ministry of interior complaining about the weak enforcement of the regulations devised to curb a spread of coronavirus.
The health ministry in a letter dated November 22 through its permanent secretary Muhammed Lamin Jaiteh is seen telling the permanent secretary of the ministry of interior there is general non-compliance and weak enforcement of the Covid-19 regulations ‘more so the wearing of masks and observance social/physical distancing’.
“The placing of sanitary facilities in public venues is being neglected in most cases and the lack of police action in enforcing the regulations is worrying,” the health minister said. Government spokesperson Ebrima Sankareh confirmed that the letter is authentic, which has circulated online.
The ministry said Covid-19 regulations are still in existence and remain to be relevant given the new waves of the disease in countries ‘around us’.
