The Red Cross Society of Seychelles (RCSS) has donated 12 mega phones to the Seychelles Police.

RCSS president Kisnan Tamatave handed over the mega phones to Corporal Raymond Dubel of the Seychelles Police in a short ceremony at the RCSS headquarters yesterday.

“The RCSS is pleased to associate itself with the Seychelles Police and to assist in ensuring the safety of the population and that of the police officers themselves,” noted Mr Tamatave.

For his part, Corporal Dubel, who is also a Red Cross volunteer, reiterated the importance of working together in the fight against COVID-19.

Both he and the Red Cross president called on the public to observe the directives provided by the authorities.

These mega phones are used mainly during disasters and crisis to sensitise, give warning and advice to the population on any event or activities about to happen or happening.

And in this case these will be used by the police to advise and sensitise the population, now that new measures to fight the spread of COVID-19 came into force at midnight last night, as announced by the Public Health Commissioner, Dr Jude Gedeon.

Also present at the ceremony was the RCSS secretary general, staff and volunteers of the society and police officers.
