RESUMPTION: Students, parents, teachers ignore COVID-19 protocols as schools resume in Ondo
On
By Dayo Johnson
AS students resumed in Ondo state for the new academic session, the compliance to the COVID- 19 protocols was partially ignored.
The students flouted the COVID-19 guidelines as most of them did not use their nose masks while those who used hung it below their chin.
Parents as well as teachers also ignored the proper way of nose mask usage, in most of the schools visited in Akure, the state capital.
A visit to Oyemekun Grammar School, Akure, buckets of water, soap and sanitizers were provided at the school gate for those coming into the school, particularly the new entrants and their parents.
