Following federal government’s directive on school resumption as from October 12, the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 has released fresh guidelines for the reopening of schools across the country.
This was disclosed by National Coordinator of the PTF, Dr Sani Aliyu during press briefing on Thursday.
Sani said the new guidelines were developed by the PTF in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Education and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).
He said, “Schools and educational bodies that plan to reopen must have detailed communication protocols that include parents, school health teams, school authorities and local state officials.
“They must also have a system for providing regular updates for parents, staff and relevant authorities, as well as communicate changes to procedures effectively.
“Specifically, school authorities have the responsibilities to ensure that everyone gaining access to their schools is screened properly.
“Boarding schools must have identified areas for screening and putting positive students aside. There must be appropriate waste management systems.
“Health facilities that are within the schools that serve the schools should have the ability to cater for an outbreak and a response protocol must be in place for these schools for students who test positive.”
