Students from the University of Mines and Technology are claiming that the university is using questionnaires to test for Coronavirus.
A photo shared by one student of the university indicated that she had been given a COVID-19 clearance form after filling out the questionnaire.
Some of the questions on the said questionnaire were as follows: “Do you have a headache? Sore throat? General body weakness? Fever? Are you: Coughing? Sneezing? Have you come into contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19?
The questionnaire also asked about the travel history of students.
Based on the answers provided, a COVID-19 clearance form may then be issued.
This comes as some final year students have been allowed to return to campus to complete their final semester.
Isn't it lovely? Testing students and staff for the virus with a questionnaire (no, I didn't even pinky promise not to lie).
