FDA ORGANISES FREE COVID-19 TESTING FOR STAFF

The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) as part of measures to protect public health and safety has for the second time organized a COVID-19 testing for its workers to ensure that its staff and offices remain safe for conducting business.

The Chief Executive Officer, Mrs. Delese Darko at a staff durbar reiterated the need for all staff to stay safe while assuring them of the Authority's continuous support for all who may test positive.

To this end, the FDA set up a COVID-19 Task Force Committee in March 2020 to ensure that staff and visitors are protected from contracting the virus and adhere strictly to all the safety protocols, and provide the needed logistics for all the FDA Offices across the country.

Staff who tested positive for the virus as well as their contacts traced were required to self-isolate and given the necessary medical assistance.

The FDA would like to assure the general public that the well-being of its clients, consumers as well as staff is of utmost priority. The Authority will therefore continually put in place measures to ensure the safety of all who visit any of its offices across the country.

Visitors are advised to ensure strict adherence to all the safety protocols such as washing of hands and the wearing of face masks at all times that they visit any of the FDA Offices to conduct business.

Together, we can help stop the spread of COVID-19.
