Dr Baloni noted, “lt was in order to prevent and avert a scenario like this that the government has consistently appealed to the public to practice social distancing and directed commercial buses to carry no more than two passengers per row. The statement maintained that government also outrightly banned motorcycle taxis and Keke Napep because they do not satisfy the conditions for social distancing.
