The Education Minister, Mathew Opoku Prempeh made this known while briefing the media Tuesday, June 2, on measures taken against the spread of COVID-19 amongst students going back to school.
Mr Opoku Prempeh also disclosed that there will be no religious activities on campus, no assemblies and no mass gatherings will also be permitted and that only students and their teachers will be on the various SHS campuses.
