A senior Virologist at the Kumasi Centre for Collaborative Research in Tropical Medicine (KCCR) Dr Michael Owusu has called on the government to close down Kindagerten and lower primary sections of schools.
His call comes on the back of Covid-19 outbreak in some schools across the country.
"We have to tackle schools, but I don't think the closure of all schools is necessary but we may close Kindagerten and lower primary where it is extremely difficult to implement the protocols and observe them".
