COVID-19 patient writes WAEC from isolation centre in Gombe

A COVID-19 positive SS3 student in Gombe State on Monday wrote his WAEC examination under safe condition in the isolation center with full joint supervision of the state ministry of Education, WAEC and Task force on COVID-19.

Recall that Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya had earlier directed that students, principals and teachers be tested for coronavirus preparatory to school resumption for exiting students.

Following the directive, the state Ministry of Education subjected staff and students to covid-19 test, especially in schools under the students exchange programme.

Through the Ministry’s proactive measures, a student from Kaduna state who tested positive was immediately evacuated for isolation at state specialist hospital.

Today, he wrote his examinations under safe condition in the isolation center with full joint supervision of Ministry of Education, WAEC and Task force on COVID-19.
