The Ghana Health Service (GHS) says it has confirmed three COVID-19 infections in schools since their resumption a week ago.
Two of the cases were recorded in two schools in the Upper West Region, and the other in the Western Region.
Dr. Kumah Aboagye, the GHS Director General, revealed this at a Ministry of Information press briefing on Ghana’s COVID-19 case updates on Monday, January 25, 2021.
According to Dr. Aboagye, in one of the cases in the Upper West Region, the student had a record of undertaking some activity in Burkina Faso.

“For the one week that schools have reopened, we’ve only recorded 3 cases. Two in Upper West and one case in Daboase in the Western Region. And we hope it continues like that,” he remarked.
Following the government’s full reopening of schools amidst a new surge in COVID-19 cases across the country, there are growing concerns that schools could become a hotspot for the spread of the disease.
