The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has confirmed that 136 students in a high school have contracted the Delta Covid19 variant.
The information was made public by the Director General of the GHS Patrick Kuma-Aboagye after they all tested positive for the strain of the disease.
He said that 136 out of 550 samples taken among students of Achimota School came out positive.
Kuma-Aboagye added that 3 of the students were admitted into hospital last month with symptoms of influenza but ended up testing positive for Covid19.
According to him, “Subsequently, other symptomatic students and contacts were identified, listed and tested for covid19. However, the majority of the students who tested positive are day students.
“We are doing the strategic testing of day students so that the infection does not spill into the community.”
