The infected persons were thus sent to treatment centres to be attended to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the outbreak of the virus on campus, some parents thronged the premises of the school demanding the release of their children. But school authorities and government insisted that the school is better placed to manage the students and the risk associated with COVID-19 than being released to go home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, seven schools in the Greater Accra Region have recorded 62 cases of COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Madam Monica Ankrah, the Greater Accra Regional Director of Education who spoke to the media during a disinfection exercise at the Accra Girls\u2019 Senior High School on Thursday, July 16, 2020, indicated that more is being done to reduce the rate of infections in the schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSometimes when we suspect a case, the impression that is created is that they are all positive cases.
