Participants

Participants raised their concerns and challenges faced at a personal levels, within their workplace and some of them mentioned that the level of negligence is still very high coupled with the denial syndrome, given the arrival of the vaccine.

"The level of negligence at our workplaces is very high, especially amongst workers themselves, even in the course of recieving the local population. Transmission of the virus is high because there are alot of things we don't pay attention to, keeping barrier measures when attending to someone, is at most times difficult to pay attention to one's every move" a participant revealed.

The main objective of the meeting is to have hygiene and safety units exist within each structure, so as to check the respect of barrier measures in order to curb the spread of the virus, given that the toll on death rate is still very high.

Civil servants, workers in different millieu and frontline health workers die on a daily basis, a major concern that warrants the reinforcement of barrier measures at all levels in order to have a healthy workspace and work place.
