He went on to explain that, the office of the West African Examination Council (WAEC) in Ghana has been consulted to set the papers specific to the country since other countries in the sub-region are tackling the pandemic and its effects uniquely.
He also directed that there should be no assemblies, religious activities or any mass gatherings when the schools re-open.
