The governor said teachers will undergo COVID-19 tests.
“Reopening of schools will start with the cleaning of the schools. We will fumigate them and then do a random test on the teachers.
“We will also deploy health workers to mount awareness within the communities where the school is situated. COVID-19 is real and we need to be very careful,” he concludes.
