The student was asked to return home from Konongo to Kumasi by himself and later had a confirmation that he has tested positive for Coronavirus.
An uncle of the student explained that, “the government has said that no parent should come to the school to visit their ward… We are told that you don’t have to get close to people with COVID-19 and so I am very concerned that they left the student to journey on his own alone from Konongo to Kumasi. He returned to his mother and siblings and is still living with them. We don’t have any place to quarantine him. His mother has also taken the test and her results are not out yet,” he said.

This comes after six students at Accra Girls Senior High School have also tested positive for Coronavirus after tests were carried on them.
Though the six students have been quarantined, fears gripped as parents stormed the school premises to withdraw their ward from the school but were not allowed by the school authorities.
