Police have deployed the elite Anti-Crime Unit at Banjul Ferry Terminal to help implement social distancing.

The unit’s head Gorgi Mboob was also spotted talking to his officers as they held a morning parade at the terminal.

Some personnel of the unit are also spotted along the Barra-Amdalai Highway controlling traffic and checking passengers.

Meanwhile the ferry’s seating capacity has been significantly reduced as part of social distancing measures to curb the spread of Covid-19 coronavirus. 

A seat on the ferry that used to be occupied by four persons, now only occupy two individuals.

And passengers plying on the ferry are complying with the new measures. 

The Gambia is currently having 7 active cases of Covid-19, bringing the country’s coronavirus cases to 17.
