The series, which will recommence on June 25, is aimed at improving skills which will assist in assuring a high quality of service delivery. It will also provide an opportunity for the enhancement of knowledge, and attitude on how to maintain high standards of sanitation and personal hygiene to minimize the transmission of the Coronavirus (COVID19).
