Vice-Chancellor for the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS), Prof John Owusu Gyapong has commended government’s decision to reopen tertiary institutions amidst the rising cases of the Covid-19.
Speaking on The Probe on JoyNews, Prof John Owusu Gyapong explained that it is essential life goes on and people learn to live with the virus.
“Staying at home I am not sure would have given us any different results,” he told Emefa Apawu host of the show.
He added: “It is known that even when you wear the nose mask and all that there is limited risk that one could still get infected. But if we are able to keep to the protocols to the best of our abilities, then we are able to minimise the level of risk.”
“So I think that it is still good to have universities and the rest of the tertiary schools open, at least from the data that I have seen so far I think it was the right thing to do.”
