One student at Mawuko Girls Senior High School in the Volta Region has been confirmed to have contracted coronavirus, 3news.com has gathered.

The student (name withheld) showed symptoms of the viral disease over the weekend, forcing authorities to run tests on her samples on Monday.

She was subsequently quarantined.

The samples came out positive on Tuesday.

3news.com gathers she was quickly taken to a treatment centre and some health authorities came to the school the following day to take samples of her mates in the same dormitory.
