In an interview with Citi tv, Mr. Tenkorang said most schools have disregarded the mask-wearing protocol.
“I’ve the opportunity of visiting schools unannounced and found that within the walls of the school environment, they disregarded the protocols. The children aren’t wearing the face mask and the teachers who are supposed to supervise them do not care”, he said.
“It is important that we adhere to the protocols and guideline in the school. We know that in the schools, most of the children are not vaccinated. The vaccination did not cover most of the children in the school. Once we know this, the protocols in schools must be enforced”, he noted during the press conference.
