The students and staff of the Akosombo International School (AIS), who were reported to have been infected with Covid-19, have now tested negative after being isolated for medical treatment.
In a release to update the parents of the students and public about the Covid-19 situation in the school, the management of the school said, “All students and staff who tested positive have tested negative upon repeat tests,” following their treatment.
The release also noted that affected students had been counseled and reintegrated back to school, with the first year students reporting to school without any incidents.
“We wish to thank the parents, the media and the public for their cooperation and support throughout the period,” the release issued by the corporate affairs and external relations stated.
It would be recalled that, a few weeks ago, the management of the AIS adopted a school shift system to curb the spread of Covid-19 among its students and staff after it came out that some students and staff of the school had tested positive for Covid-19.
“Currently all staff and students have been screened, those who tested positive are doing well under the management and treatment by the Volta River Authority (VRA) Medical Team,” an earlier statement said.
Precautionary measures such as temperature checks, social distancing, hand washing and sanitizing are being strictly enforced in the school.
