Six (6) mortuary workers have reportedly succumbed to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
General Secretary for Mortuary Workers Association of Ghana (MOWAG), Richard Kofi Jordan during an interview on Otec FM stated that the death of the six people was said to have happened within a month stating the dates as being from December 2020 and January 20, 2021.
He revealed that the 6 workers contracted the virus and died due to the unavailability of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)which the mortuary workers needed in other to protect themselves.
He said; “Six people have mysteriously died within one month which I suspect to have caused by the coronavirus because we don’t have any protective gears in our lines of duties.”
“The situation is scaring most workers from going to work The Health authorities don’t think about the welfare of us because we have complained far too long about the unavailability of PPEs, but they haven’t solved our problem.”
“Very soon we will lay down our tools for the Health authorities to handle the dead bodies, and this time, no amount of words can convince us to come back. We are also human beings”
