The Chief Operating Officer of Real Drinks Company Limited, Mr Wayne Erlank, has stressed the need for health workers in the frontline against COVID-19 to be appreciated.

Erlank said this during the presentation of 17,500 juice to the Lagos State Government to support the frontline health workers in the fight against COVID-19.

He said the donation was part of the company’s corporate social responsibility.

“We commend the sacrifices and efforts of all the medical personnel who risk their lives daily by caring for the infected people and all other workers helping to curb the spread of the virus in the country.

“Providing the frontline personnel with a variety of our natural fruit flavoured drinks is our way of ensuring that these key personnel are continuously refreshed,” he said.

According to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, 1,337 confirmed cases of COVID-19 has been recorded in the country with 40 deaths as of April 27.
