The Ghana Health Service says the flu which hit three secondary schools last week has been brought under control.
The schools affected were Akuse Methodist Senior High School, Krobo Girls Senior High School and the Legacy Girls Senior School.
Student activities have now returned to normalcy. The outbreak occurred on October 31, 2019.
Health experts from the national and regional departments of the GHS were dispatched to support the affected schools to assess the situation and to collaborate with school authorities to bring the crisis under control.
Flu samples taken from affected students for laboratory testing confirmed the seasonal flu Type-A H3N2.
According to a statement, affected students are responding well to treatment.
The GHS encourages parents not to panic but rather advise their wards to cooperate with the health and school authorities, practice and enhance personal hygiene.
