  "I think the epidemic prevention and control should treat it as'existence' to prevent it, rather than'probably not.' The epidemic prevention and control requirements in schools should be stricter." Wang Zhihong, principal of Fuzhou Wenquan Primary School, told reporters that the school is crowded. In places, students are related to a family and have a wide range of outward radiation, so it is particularly important to have a good "line of defense" for the prevention and control of the epidemic.

  At present, the situation of the epidemic situation in Putian, Fujian is severe and complicated. The transmission chain of the epidemic has spread to Xiamen, Quanzhou and other places. Many school students or their parents need to stay at home due to travel to medium- and high-risk areas.

  Isolate the epidemic without isolating warmth.

Wang Zhihong said that in response to this situation, the school established a home isolation group with each class as a unit. Teachers, students and parents of all subjects are among them. It will also answer questions that students encounter during the learning process.

  "Allow parents to ease their anxiety and worry that their children will not be able to keep up with the progress of their studies when they return to school. This is more conducive to the development of epidemic prevention and control." Wang Zhihong revealed that the school is also preparing for the online teaching experience in 2020. This year's online teaching work is prepared for emergencies.
