This second incident has had everyone asking if the school authorities have the situation under control.

Ghanaians on Twitter are not happy with how the student body and the school authorities are handling the current situation.
Reacting to the viral photo, Hunvilla Asamoah wrote, “KNUST students need to take the COVID protocol serious before something bad happen for UG and the rest to refer to our full track resumption as irresponsible. Please stay out of unnecessary crowd. Please for the sake of successful completion of the academic year. Please again.”
Another user also wrote, “Soooooo…. The university has no covid protocol or what??? Yeah we probably headed for another shutdown at this rate. I mean…that's a super spreader event! Kai.”
