Ghana’s largest state power generation company, Volta River Authority (VRA), managers of the Akosombo International School, has reintegrated staff and students of the school, who tested positive for Covid-17 after undergoing successful treatment and tested negative.
In a statement, VRA said it had brought the outbreak of covid-19 in the school under control without recording any fatality.
“Upon the resumption of school for this academic year, AIS recorded a covid-19 case. Following the incident, management of VRA requested mass Covid-19 screening and contact tracing which were immediately carried out by the VRA Health Services Limited and the Authority’s Covid-19 Taskforce.
“All who tested positive were stabilised and kept in isolation for further management and treatment by our health staff, while those who tested negative were advised to continue with strict adherence to all Covid-19 safety protocols.
“We are happy to inform the general public that as at the date of this publication, all staff and students who initially tested positive had tested negative upon repeat tests. All recovered students were counseled and re-integrated into the school,” the Authority said.
“In line with our protocols, the first year students have also reported to school with negative Covid-19 text results,” the statement added.
The VRA re-assured parents and the general public that precautionary measures such as temperature checks, social distancing, hand washing, sanitizing and shift system for students are being fully enforced.
