    Speaking to the media, the Director General of the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Badu Sarkodie said a team of medical experts were sent to the region to handle the situation adding that measures are in place to contain the spread.

    Dr. Sarkodie assured students on the gold track who are expected in school this week to allay fears since the H3N2 flu has been contained.

    “The situation has come to normalcy, everything has been done to make sure this situation is contained, so this is not the reason to change the academic calendar,” Dr. Sarkodie said.
