COVID-19: Soul Clinic disinfects premises ahead of re-opening

The Soul Clinic International School has joined a list of educational institutions in Ghana fumigation their campuses to tackle the coronavirus pandemic.

The school, which was founded 1968 and featured in Westminster’s celebration of the commonwealth, embarked on the exercise in collaboration with Zoomlion Ghana Limited, to prepare appropriately for the reopening of the third term.

The school management preached a message of calm to allay the fears of parents and pupils as the country enters the sixth week of a public ban on social gatherings and shutdown of schools.

Ghana has so far recorded 1,550 with 155 recoveries and 11 deaths. The Ghana Education Service (GES) has partnered Zoomlion to disinfect all schools across the nation.

“Do not fear. Fear not. When God grants mercy because of his love to the humankind, we must also repent from habits and mindsets that aren’t pleasing him,” Andrew McCaulley, a representative of the school said.

The school, whose 50th-anniversary motto was: “A renewed mind for growth”, encouraged the public to guard the boundaries of their minds, hearts and souls and also prayed for health officials involved in the fight against the fast-spreading virulent infection.

The school’s rep stated: “We commit our doctors, health workers, governments, teachers and all professionals contributing so much good to the service of others around the world, into the God’s hands.”

Soul Clinic encouraged students across the globe to continue learning to build their knowledge, to confront pandemics of the future, while asking everyone to keep the compass of their souls pointing up.

The University of Ghana (UG), the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), the Accra Technical University, the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GiJ) and the University of Professional Studies (UPSA) are some tertiary universities that have undergone fumigation.

Second-cycle institutions such as Accra Girls Senior High School and Prempeh College has also disinfected their facilities with many more schools expected to be completed in the coming weeks.
