ZOOMLION Ghana Limited, a waste management company, in collaboration with the Akuapem North District Assembly at the weekend fumigated the Okuapemman Senior High School (SHS) at Akropong-Akuapem against the HINI influenza.
Six girls of the school last month contracted the disease forcing the school to go for its second term holidays earlier than expected.
Workers of Zoomlion, led by its Eastern Regional Vector Control Officer, Mr Johannes Obeng Danso, concentrated more on the girls’ dormitory, the bath houses, places of convenience and the classrooms.
According to Mr Danso, apart from preventing the influenza, the fumigation would also get rid of harmful insects, especially in the dormitories.
The Headmaster of the school, Mr Felix Essah-Hienno, together with the District Chief Executive for Akuapem North, Mr George Opare Addo, witnessed the fumigation.
Mr Essah-Hienno said the safety of the students, who would be coming back to the school this week for the beginning of the third term, had been assured.
He thanked Zoomlion and the Akuapem North District Assembly for their intervention in controlling the influenza.
Mr Addo said the assembly was also assisting Zoomlion to fumigate the other SHSs in the district to prevent the influenza from spreading to those schools.
