The Health Ministry has directed all principals and directors of public health training institutions to allow all final year student to go home.

This comes after President Nana Akufo-Addo recently put a ban on all public gatherings for the next four weeks to prevent the spread of the deadly COVID-19.

In a letter signed by Dr Martha Gyansa-Lutterodt, the Director of Technical Coordination, the new directive was effective Wednesday, March 18.

Meanwhile, final year students in Junior High School and Senior High Schools are still attending classes as they prepare for their final exams despite the ban.
