COVID-19: Cross River set to reopen schools, distribute PPE to students 

The Cross River State government has revealed plans to reopen schools in the state after unveiling no fewer than 300,000 Personal Protection Equipment, PPE to be distributed to school children across the state.

Governor Ayade disclosed this on Wednesday, when he inspected the protective gears including; face shields, overalls and gloves, stating further that they will be given out free for trial at public schools.

He also informed that medical personnel in the state will also be given PPEs for free.

Governor Ayade said; “I think that the federal government will be excited to encourage the resumption of schools because obviously the coronavirus has come to stay with us and the reality is that countries that have attempted to resume schools have had to contend with the increase prevalence of the virus but obviously how long can we wait as a country?

“So perhaps, we have to adopt a new lifestyle that will integrate coronavirus as part of our lifestyle.

“And so for Cross River State, we have a strong commitment that our children cannot continue to stay at home.

“The more they stay at home, the more the moral decadence, the more indiscipline, the more they become lazy of getting back to school and getting started because for every stage in life there is time where you have to be in class and once the child miss that delicate phase, it becomes very difficult.

“I think it is wise for the kids to go back to school and I have seen this happen in China where kids are back to schools with their nose masks and shields.

“So you wear your nose mask and you wear your face shield when you get to school you drop the mask, and wear only your shield to allow for more ventilation and more breathing,” he concluded.
