The Federal Government said on Monday students returning to schools across the country are not required to undergo COVID-19 test before they would be allowed into the premises.

Some schools particularly in Lagos had directed their students to undergo the COVID-19 test before resumption.

But the Director of Press and Public Relations, Federal Ministry of Education, Ben Goong, who reacted to the development in a statement, asked school authorities to refrain from asking students or parents to undergo the COVID-19 test before they are allowed to enter the schools.

My people take note and make sure your child is protected before leaving house to school..
