The Federal Government has advised schools to stop requesting for COVID-19 test results from returning students before they are admitted back to school.
In a short statement on Monday in Abuja by the Director of Press and Public Relations in the Federal Ministry of Education, Ben Goong, the government said: “No COVID-19 test required for resumption of students. The Federal Ministry of Education says no COVID-19 test is required for returning students to be admitted into their schools.
“Only temperature checks should be carried out on students and any other person crossing any school gate.
“School authorities should, therefore, refrain from asking students or parents to undergo COVID-19 test before they are accepted in their schools.”
