Markets in the capital will not be open to business today (Monday), with 137 of them expected to be disinfected.

According to a report by Citi News, 10 sprayers will be assigned to each market for the fumigation exercise to be undertaken.

The exercise to disinfect the markets will be coordinated by the Greater Accra Regional Coordination Council.
