What about the children who arrive at school?

　　The relevant person in charge of the Supervision and Safety Division of the Harbin Education Bureau said that a notice was issued yesterday, and the district, county and city education bureaus can ask the local government to decide whether to suspend classes.

Because Harbin has a relatively large area, the situation in different districts, counties and cities is different, and the warning level of the previous day did not meet the requirements for suspension of classes.

　　Parents questioned the late release of the notice. The person in charge said that at 7 o'clock on the 19th, the education department received an early warning from the meteorological department. At 8 o'clock, the education department issued a notice after consulting the Harbin Municipal Government for its decision.

The person in charge said that before the meteorological department issued this warning, the education department was temporarily unable to make this decision.

　　At around 9:40, parents have received notice from the school to pick up their children in the afternoon.
