 Six out of eleven students who were tested for the virus tested positive.

Health officials from the Ayawaso East Health directorate on Saturday, July 4, moved the students who tested positive to the Ga East Municipal Hospital for treatment.

It is safe to agree that we are not in normal times thus, students and teachers are advised to stick to laid down COVID-19 protocols such as hand washing and the wearing of face mask in order to stay from contacting the disease.
