Following the detection of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in the country, the federal government has issued new guidelines to all schools in the country.

The health agency, NCDC in its latest COVID-19 situation report released on Tuesday, advised school administrators to ensure the provision of handwashing facilities and hand sanitizers for hand hygiene in schools.

According to the NCDC, school authorities across the nation must also ensure daily temperature checks at points of entry and send home students and teachers with high temperatures.

It also recommended the use of approved rapid diagnostic test kits in secondary school hostels and university campuses for testing of students and staff upon school resumption.

The NCDC, however, urged all school administrations to comply with public health guidelines and take adequate measures to avoid the spread of the virus in the country.

Below are the listed guidelines as released by the NCDC:
