The management of Imo State University (IMSU), Owerri, yesterday stopped students from entering the school premises for failure to use facemasks, while others were scolded for not wearing them properly within the premises. It said it would not condone acts capable of jeopardising efforts aimed at safeguarding the school community from the dreaded coronavirus. When The Guardian visited the university, it was discovered that majority of the students were reluctant to comply with the COVID-19 precautionary measures. The Guardian, yesterday, discovered that some of the classrooms were under lock and key, and no lecture was held in the entire school. It had also directed students to return to their hostels on January 24, while observing the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) safety protocols.
