Covid-19: Youth clash with police over isolation center at Moree

Some young people in Moree, a fishing community in the Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese District of the Central Region mounted roadblocks around 11:00pm on Sunday to prevent a team of police personnel from entering the town.
The police stormed the area after picking information that the youth had mounted roadblocks over fears that the Regional Health Response Team headed by Regional Minister Kwamena Duncan, was transporting suspected Covid-19 persons picked by contact tracing teams to join over thirty Moree fishermen who just arrived in the community from Ivory Coast by sea and had been isolated at Moree Secondary Technical School.

The youth refused the police entry even though they (police) were very professional and spoke to them in polite manner for several minutes. The youth  started burning tyres . When the police dismantled the road blocks, the youth hurriedly set it up again . This compelled the police to fire several rubber bullets to bring the situation under control.
Former assembly man for Old Court Electoral Area, Isaac Nketsia  told  Atinka News that, they will not allow any suspected Covid-19 persons  from different communities to Moree Secondary Technical School and that each community should find their own isolation center..
He  warned that any vehicle carrying suspected Covid-19 patients to Moree will be set ablaze
