Citi News is reporting that at least one student of Wesley Senior High School in Ashanti Region has tested positive for coronavirus a few weeks after school reopened for final year students.
This comes few days after six Accra Girls Senior High School students tested positive for the deadly virus.
The student is said to have been rushed to the Konongo Government Hospital after showing symptoms of the virus but test result came out negative.
However, they later result came out positive. This is after he was left on his own to travel from Konongo to Kumasi, according to the student’s uncle, Osei Kwadwo.
He expressed disappointment at development, claiming the student has since not been isolated and is living with his mother and other siblings at home.
“The government has said that no parent should come to the school to visit their ward… We are told that you don’t have to get close to people with COVID-19 and so I am very concerned that they left the student to journey on his own alone from Konongo to Kumasi. He returned to his mother and siblings and is still living with them. We don’t have any place to quarantine him. His mother has also taken the test and her results are not out yet,” he said.
