Covid-19: Stop withdrawing your wards from school – GHS, GES warns parents

In a joint statement by the services on the matter, the two bodies assured of efforts to ensure the safety of students.

The statement further revealed that all contacts of confirmed cases have been identified and separated for onward testing.
