Traditional and commercial caterers in Jaman South District are to undergo a screening exercise to ensure that they are healthy enough to continue with their operations.Mr. Ofori Ampofo, the District Environmental Officer, told the GNA in an interview that the exercise would cover both food and alcoholic beverage vendors.He said his outfit would undertake the exercise in collaboration with the district assembly and St Mary’s Hospital to ensure that vendors “infected with contagious and other diseases do not pass them on to customers.”The move is also meant to rid the district of many communicable diseases that have surfaced in the district through food sold to the public and to manage the situation to curtail future occurrence, Mr Ampofo added.He said there had been an upsurge in ailments such as cholera and tuberculosis and this had been attributed to the kind of food sold by vendors.Source: GNA
