When in school, the school will carry out health and epidemic prevention supervision, including measuring the body temperature of students before arriving at the school and before leaving school every day, ensuring that students wear masks, and always observe the school's health and epidemic prevention measures.
Cross-border students must hold a nucleic acid test negative result certificate within 7 days when they pass through the Shenzhen port, and make a health declaration at the time of customs clearance. Subject to the relevant conditions, cross-border students can in principle be exempted from compulsory quarantine in Hong Kong, and can also be exempted from centralized quarantine medical observation in Shenzhen.
