As the world faces the challenge of tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, it is instrumental to ensure that the Janitorial Staff we work with gain the correct information about this illness; its risks, means of prevention, and also the myths surrounding it.

In view of this, a training programme was organized by the N&MC COVID-19 Team for the Janitorial Staff of the Council.

The participants who numbered about 20 were given practical training on the WHO COVID-19 protocols which included but not limited to handwashing techniques, sanitizer application, disposal of waste and new and effective ways of cleaning the premises to ensure safety of the entire Staff and themselves.

The training forms part of the entire training programme for Staff and other Stakeholders scheduled by the COVID-19 Technical Team of the Council So far, in addition to this training is the online training on COVID-19 protocol management at the workplace which was held for all Staff on February 1, 2021
