He indicated in an interview with Kwami Sefa Kai on the Kokrokoo show of Peace Fm that, the 259 individuals who tested negative have been given the permission to resume their normal activities whereas units have been prepared to give adequate measures and counseling to combat stigmatization against infected individuals in the school premises.
He explained that the Ghana Health Service would verify if the spread of the infection has gotten to the homes of the affected victims, hence urging parents to not panic.
“We have only informed the parents of the students who tested positive . . . if a parent has not been called it means your ward was not included,”
he stated
