Kwara arranges WAEC exam for 16-year-old COVID-19 patient in Isolation Center

Date: 2020-08-20

16-year-old female COVID-19 patient is sitting her senior secondary school certificate examination at the Kwara State COVID-19/Infectious Disease Centre in Ilorin, the state capital, an official said on Wednesday.

Team Lead/Manager Case Management Team, Kwara COVID-19/Infectious Diseases Centre, Dr Kudirat Oladeji-Lambe, told reporters that the candidate is asymptomatic, stable, and fit to write the exams.

The patient -whose name and school was withheld to avoid stigma - wrote her Agricultural Science paper on Wednesday under close supervision by an official of the West African Examination Council (WAEC).

The Candidate who has missed one of the subjects was being mentored to sit for other Subjects during her two weeks' stay in the Isolation centre.

Dr Oladiji-Lambe said,"The person in question is one of the final year Senior Secondary School students that have enrolled for the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination and she's right here writing her exam. She is asymptomatic, which means she does not show any symptoms, and she's stable. She is just here to observe her two weeks isolation process,"

"We have certified that she's both mentally and physically fit to write her exams. She was in close contact with a close relative of her that tested positive. It was through contact tracing that she happened to be tested positive.

'The candidate was admitted yesterday (Tuesday). She missed a paper yesterday and we informed the authorities because as child advocates, once she had enrolled for WAEC, the government felt she has the right to write her papers. That's why the state government thought it wise to arrange for her in order not to miss other papers.
