Mr. Kunta said schools had been linked to health facilities in the District to help address and contain possible suspected Covid-19 cases in schools in the area.
The District Director of Education, Mr. Kwame Oduro-Owusu noted that his outfit was working closely with the District Health Directorate to ensure that the Covid-19 did not enter any school in the District.
Adding that the visit to the schools was to ensure that all the Covid-19 safety protocols were strictly observed by pupils and teachers as well as community members.
Mr. Oduro-Owusu stressed the need for community members to undertake self-help projects to rehabilitate dilapidated classroom blocks in their communities.
He also appealed to parents to support their children with furniture to help address furniture challenges in some of the schools.
