Every school across the country will receive PPEs soon - GES

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has called for calm among heads of educational institutions in Ghana, as plans to supply schools with Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) are still ongoing.

The GES said no school will be left out in the distribution of PPEs - needed to reduce the community spread of the COVID-19 virus.

According to the Service, the distribution is going on well and schools that are yet to receive will eventually get it.

This was revealed by the Public Relations Officer of GES, Cassandra Twum Ampofo on Accra based Citi FM.

“The distribution of the PPE is ongoing and as of now some schools have not had some, but I will urge them to calm down. No school will be left out. Once we’ve started distribution, and they are aware that public schools are getting the PPEs, they will also get theirs. They should wait patiently while the delivery gets to their end,” she said.

Meanwhile, the Ghana Health Service has disclosed that the country's active cases for COVID-19 stand at 2,413 after recording 658 new cases.
