Madam Lydia Afua Appiah, Headmistress, Ebenezer Methodist School, said the temperature of the students were checked by the school’s private nurse before entry to the classroom; more so the school has received its personal protective equipment from the government.

She said turnout of the students are encouraging and they would ensure that the students adhere to the safety protocols.

She said the total number of students to sit for the final examination is 45 students and they have been divided to two classrooms.

At the Immanuel Presbyterian Basic School, Mr Thomas Kwasi Lissah, Headmaster, said many of the students have reported to school and have been given some orientation on the health protocols.
