The Chiefs and people of Brafoyaw, a community in the Central Region, have kicked against the use of Aggrey Memorial Zion Senior High School as an isolation camp for COVID-19 patients. .
It started with Winneba when authorities took to the streets to kick against the use of Winneba Secondary School as isolation centre days after the region recorded its first case of the COVID-19.
There were speculation that the Effutu Senior High School and the St.Augustines Senior High School were earmarked as isolation centres.
“We came into the school because we had an indication that the government has intentions using the school as a place of quarantine for COVID -19 patients and Aggrey Memorial is under my jurisdiction but as Chief of the area, our fear is that the school is closer to the community and if care is not taken it might spread into our communities,” Nana Atobrah Kesse VII the Chief of Brafoyaw told Citi News
The Central regional minister in the course of the week had hinted on using such places as isolation centres in the event residents contracts the virus especially when one person had already contracted the virus with 13 others being traced.
But residents have not taken the suggestion lightly and are resisting attempts to use the schools for such purposes.
