We’ve come across a video of how some part of Accra is being sprayed with disinfectants.
The video available to thedistin.com sees Ghana’s Zoomlion under the auspices of Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) spraying some streets using a disinfecting car.
In the video, one can also a single car doing the spraying but from what we gathered the exercise is ongoing at most market places within the capital.

Markets have been shut down due to a major fumigation exercise which is taking place on Monday, 23 March 2020.
The Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development announced that this exercise is to help enhance the state of hygiene in market places in the wake of the deadly virus which surfaced early this year.
The fumigation exercise will be held simultaneously in at least 1000 market places across the country.
The government of Ghana has directed traders not to open businesses today to allow the exercise to take place. Traders will, however, return to their normal businesses on Tuesday,24 March 2020.
