According to Mayor Koijee, the majority of the 6,000 recruits were those who worked with the MCC to demarcate the geographical space of Montserrado County. His clarification comes in the wake of allegations and controversies that these “active case finders” without any medical knowledge are likely to spread the coronavirus as they visit household-to-household. He said Dr. Nyan should have contacted the office of the Mayor before coming up with these criticisms about the active case finders. Koijee said the 6,000 active case finders was advised by health practitioners because of the strange nature of the coronavirus. Mayor Koijee also accused Mr. Nyenswah of being sponsored by PREVAIL to discredit the work of the health authorities in the fight against the coronavirus.
