A worried parent has pulled their child from classes at the Antigua Girls’ High School after two reported cases of students experiencing high fever.
The parent took the decision after two children in her daughter’s class became ill with a high fever.
The parent further said “all of this confusion” forced them to pull their daughter from school for 14 days.
Earlier on Monday the school issued a public notice to “dispel the social hysteria that has been caused by misinformation.”
“An ambulance was summoned to the school today because a student fell ill. However, after examination, the student was taken home. The school remains vigilant in its observance of protocols,” the notice reads.

My daughter who attends the school said that there is no social distancing in the classrooms which sge has classes in. The girls remove their masks and chat with each other very closely. I have been seeing this in other schools as well.
Well this is bound to happen they are adolescences with little restraint and teachers can’t force them 24/7 I’m sure they do it when teachers aren’t around.. stop the hysterics
Teachers only have to enforce during the school day, not “force them 24/7,” so stop clowning.
The school supposedly “remains vigilant” so where is the COVID testing and why aren’t they posting results? This reminds me of our Little Mustache Man, always talking a big about how we have the Coronavirus under control on our island but they never tell us the exact numbers.
Govt say 6′ apart.
Govt now say 3′ apart to accommodate the lack of space in schools.
Govt full a it.
That’s international TWAT
The students who reportedly had high temperature, was this discovered at the gate? If so, were the children still allowed to enter the school plant? And parents, if aryu pickney sick, mek dem rass tap home.
Exactly…simple!!

You tell it like it is Sally. I love hearing people speaking the truth.
Wake up Antigua! You are in danger, not from the virus but from bad leadership and ignorance of your fellow citizens.
Chups this is nothing more than media hype as usual to create painc and fear. These media house should actully do some form of journalist investigations instead of puttting out these clickbait news.
Sad but true.
