Strictly prevent outbreak risks
——The test room is completely eliminated, and all candidates take body temperature
According to the Ministry of Education, this year's college entrance examination is also the largest organized collective activity nationwide since the outbreak of the new coronary pneumonia.
As early as the end of March, the Ministry of Education issued the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in Enrolling National Universities in 2020 in Response to the New Coronary Pneumonia Outbreak."
According to the "Notice", this year's college entrance examination, all places should disinfect the entrance to the examination one by one to ensure environmental hygiene and good ventilation; the test center should be equipped with sufficient epidemic prevention materials, set up special channels with protective isolation measures, dedicated isolation test room and spare test room; Examination staff carry out new coronary pneumonia epidemic prevention and examination safety training to ensure that all measures are put in place.
As the college entrance examination approached, the National Health and Health Commission's Bureau for Disease Control and Prevention issued "10 Key Measures for the 2020 College Entrance Examination and Prevention of Epidemic Diseases," which set forth clear requirements for body temperature testing and mask wearing.
For example, a temperature monitoring point should be set at the entrance of the test site to measure the temperature of all personnel who enter the test site. All candidates and test staff must have a body temperature below 37.3°C to enter the test site.
In addition, candidates in low-risk areas must wear masks before entering the examination room. After entering the examination room, they can independently decide whether to wear them; candidates in alternate isolation examination rooms and high-risk areas should wear masks throughout the process.
At the same time, various regions have also adjusted the number of examination rooms according to different situations.
For example, the number of candidates in each examination room in Beijing this year has been reduced from the previous 30 to 20. There are also temporary observation points set up in the examination center. Candidates who have fever and cough during the examination will be transferred to the standby isolation examination room according to the established procedures.
In Wuhan, in order to ensure the health and safety of the majority of candidates, the Wuhan Fire Department has recently entered the college entrance examination sites and eliminated all the examination rooms and public health areas. In addition, this year Wuhan has also uniformly equipped special masks for college entrance examination candidates.

Cope with extreme weather
——Multi-department linkage flood prevention and high temperature prevention
Due to a one-month extension, this year's college entrance examination coincides with a period of high temperature and flood disasters. Flood control and heatstroke prevention also affect the success of the exam.
On the eve of the college entrance examination, the Ministry of Education made a special arrangement, requiring education administrative departments and admission examination institutions at all levels to work with relevant departments to insist on taking candidates as the center. The Ministry of Education requires that we fully prepare for the extreme weather and natural disasters that may occur during the exam.
From a local point of view, in order to cope with extreme weather, various regions have carried out early deployment and launched multi-department linkage to escort the college entrance examination.
For example, in Hubei, emergency management departments around Hubei have requested to strengthen on-duty on-site examinations and other personnel-intensive areas, strengthen inspection and inspection of waterlogged water points and hidden dangers of geological disasters, and implement safety risk control throughout the entire process before, during, and after the test.
In addition, the Hubei public security organ will also rely on the media and WeChat public platform to push out abnormal weather warnings, natural disasters and road traffic conditions to provide candidates with a reference for travel.
In terms of heatstroke prevention and cooling, the National Health and Health Commission has issued "Key Measures for the 2020 College Entrance Examination and Prevention of Epidemic Diseases", which has proposed that ordinary test rooms can use split air conditioning or central air conditioning, and standby isolation test rooms must use split air conditioning.
Examination rooms without air-conditioning facilities can use natural ventilation, electric fans and other equipment to enhance ventilation. When using electric fans or ice cubes to cool down, do not completely close the doors and windows.
In order to create a "cool test room", some regions have made it clear that the college entrance examination room will be equipped with air conditioning this year. The Beijing Municipal Education Commission also introduced that all test sites will cover the air conditioning outlets and make adjustments to ensure that they are not directly blown to candidates.

Recently, the Ministry of Education uniformly announced the phone numbers for the 2020 college entrance examination reports issued by the Ministry of Education and the 31 provincial (district, municipal) education administration departments and admission examination institutions across the country. The Ministry of Education stated that the Ministry of Education and the provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) will work with relevant departments to check and process the reports as soon as possible, and resolutely maintain the fairness and justice of the college entrance examination.
