ShareShareShareShareShare

Students of Accra Girls Senior High school are protesting to put pressure on the management of the school to allow them to go home following reports that six of their colleagues have contracted COVID-19.

Students are gathered on the schools’ premises in the hope that their parents will come and take them home.

The infected students were isolated in the school’s sickbay on Monday, June 29, 2020, together with some other students who also showed symptoms of COVID-19.

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

This development has led to the students demonstrating amidst fears that the virus is spreading amongst them.

The students, who gathered outside their classrooms, kept chanting: “We’ll go home.”

Anxious parents have also trooped to the school to try and take their wards home.

Police officers have been deployed to the school to prevent the agitated parents from entering the school premises.

Speaking to journalists, a parent said: “I heard the news last night, so, I rushed here to find out what was happening… I’m anxious and scared and, so, we need the school authorities to tell us something.”

According to some of the parents, no student was tested when schools resumed.
