Monrovia – Social distancing and gathering of not more than 10 persons were not observed on Monday at the Monrovia City Corporation despite a Ministry of Health’s directive, FrontPage Africa can confirmed. Barely a day following the health emergency regulations, FrontPage Africa observed the presence of a crowd of over 100 persons at the Monrovia City hall on Monday, March 23, prompting concerns that the MCC is violating public health regulations. MOH, on March 22, banned the gathering of people including in churches, mosques, entertainment centers, amongst others, while also warning against public gathering of more than 10 persons. But the gathering of over a hundred people at the Monrovia City hall on Monday raised new concerns about the regulations not being adhered to by the city government headed by Mayor Jefferson Koijee, one of President George Mannah Weah’s key allies. “It was overcrowded but these are caregivers and mobilizers who are to carry out awareness in various communities,” Gbuapaye said.
