Your Children Brought Covid-19 From Home – NPP Youth Organizer Tells Parents

The National Youth Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has told parents of students who are catching the coronavirus on Senior High School campuses that the children brought the viruses from their homes.

At a press conference, Nana Boakye, who violated the law by going on SHS campuses in the Ashanti Region to campaign to students, virtually blamed parents as the sources of the spiraling covid-19 cases among students.

“It is important to note that the students who have tested positive for the Covid-19, did not even contract the viruses at their respective campuses, this is another strong point; that all of these cases, they brought it from their various homes,” Nana Boakye said.

The accusation lifts the blame from the Akufo-Addo government which has been seen by many as reckless for sending final year students back to schools amidst the coronavirus, to the students themselves and their parents.

The spiraling infections among students is steadily climbing to 100 barely one month after the students returned to school.

Following the outbreaks on campuses, the students have mostly tried to escape the schools, while some parents have attempted to whisk their wards away from the increasing danger on school campuses.

However, the government has refused to allow the children go, holding them against their will, sometimes by sending in the Police.

The Akufo-Addo government had claimed it was sending the children back to help them prepare for final exams, however, the party has since used the children’s return as opportunity to register them for the upcoming elections in December.

The NPP has also been using the return as opportunity to campaign for votes amidst students catching the viruses with at least one person dying on campus from suspected covid-19.

Meanwhile, the haunting infections on campus is said to have unsettled students who cannot concentrate on learning. According to reports, some of the students have started having nightmares in their dorms.
