    Even though educational institutions are being closed, pre-tertiary students that have already registered for basic and secondary school exams will be allowed to attend revision classes.

    “BECE [Basic Education Certificate Examination] and WASSCE [West African Secondary School Certificate Examination] candidates will be allowed to attend school to prepare for their examinations but with the required social distancing protocols,” the President announced.

    The President further asked school authorities to ensure that these classes are conducted in hygienic conditions with appropriate “social distancing” between attendees.

    “These are not ordinary times,” the President said, as he urged citizens to co-operate with health authorities to help with contact tracing and “community spreading.”

    “Let us all put our shoulders to the wheel,” he admonished, adding, “I am confident that together we shall overcome this challenge.”

    The President also announced that in the coming days, the Attorney General, Gloria Akuffo, will place emergency legislation before Parliament to help enforce all the measures he has announced.
