Unilever Ghana, one of the largest producer and retailer of consumer goods in the country has joined the fight against the spread of coronavirus.

The company is assisting with the educational drives, sharing of expertise and donation of products to the health centres.

Unilever has also started to collaborate with some media houses on the sharing of educational materials on practices to help people stay safe.

Ghana has recorded 24 cases with one person dead after the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared coronavirus a pandemic.

Unilever is one of the many companies that has been organising educational campaigns at some churches and lorry stations where handwashing stations are set up to encourage proper handwashing habits as well.

It has also committed support for the frontline staff in the fight by donating some boxes of Lifebuoy soap for their use.

The frontline institutions it has donated to so far are the Noguchi Memorial Institute of Medical Research, the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, Tema General Hospital and the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.

The collaborations are supported by Unilever Ghana’s Lifebuoy soap brand which advocates proper handwashing with an anti-germ soap under running water.

Unilever Ghana implores Ghanaians to endeavour to adhere to the safety and health protocols outlined and announced by the government, and to commit, at a personal level, to keep safe always.
