Speaking with the media the Volta Regional Minister, Dr. Archibald Yao Letsa said the situation is under control and asked parents, students as well as teachers to remain calm.
“Since they have been taken out of their schools, they cannot spread the virus and so there is no cause for panic,” said.
The Volta Regional Director of Education, Madam Enyonam Afi Amafuga, said despite the cases classes were still in progress in the schools.
“We are gathering data on the situation on the ground from the schools, and what we need is a continuous supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) to the schools to ensure that they do not run out at any time,” she said.
