各地学校陆续开学
Kindergarten, primary and secondary schools are expected to welcome students in staggered time slots from Aug 15 to Oct 10, while universities are allowing students to return on different schedules from late August to early October. After the new semester begins, schools should keep records of the health of every student, even if they show no symptoms of illness, and university students and teachers should not leave their campus unless necessary. Schools have made contingency plans and have prepared material reserves for a possible resurgence of the pandemic. We should by no means be slack in our pandemic control efforts, yet we should also refrain from being too strict in containment measures. Students and staff at Beijing primary and secondary schools should continue to wear masks on campus for the new semester, and they should remove them only for outdoor activities, the Beijing Municipal Education Commission said recently. More than 600,000 university students are expected to return to the capital and they should all take nucleic acid tests before going to their campuses, with the costs paid by universities, the commission said. A total of 150,000 sentry posts have been set up in various locations to ensure that students can go to and from school safely, especially during rush hour in major road sections, said Zhang Ming, spokeswoman for the Ministry of Public Security. Additionally, about 250,000 police offices and sentry posts have been established, which could promptly deal with situations when teachers or students call police for help. |
