Chinanews.com, Harbin, February 16 (Reporter Wang Nina) Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Education announced on the evening of the 16th that regular colleges and primary schools (including secondary vocational schools) in Heilongjiang Province will open normally if the epidemic situation permits.

  Recently, the Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Education has deployed to municipal (prefecture) education bureaus and colleges and universities in the province’s primary and secondary schools in the spring semester of 2021. They pointed out that in order to avoid the peak of the Spring Festival return journey, colleges and universities should insist on phases and batches and start school at the wrong time and peak.

The specific opening times of primary and secondary schools in each city (county, urban area) of Heilongjiang Province shall be reported by the local education administration department to the local epidemic headquarters for overall planning.

  Heilongjiang Province requires all colleges and universities to adhere to the "daily report" and "zero report" system, and comprehensively record the physical health information monitoring and travel trajectory of teachers and students.

In principle, 14 days before the start of school, the faculty and staff should return to the school location for home observation.

Teachers, students and staff with a history of living in medium- and high-risk areas within 14 days before the start of school must be quarantined and observed according to local regulations. After the nucleic acid test is normal and the quarantine is lifted, they can return to school with a valid negative nucleic acid test certificate within 7 days.

Foreign teachers and students will not return to school without notice from the school.

  Before semester begins, university faculty and staff shall conduct nucleic acid testing uniformly, and college students shall perform nucleic acid testing for all staff as soon as they enter the school, and the testing costs shall be borne by the school.

It is up to the territorial epidemic headquarters to decide whether the faculty, staff and students of elementary and secondary schools will conduct a unified nucleic acid test after entering the school. It is recommended that the faculty and staff conduct a unified nucleic acid test before the beginning of school.

  At the same time, schools must reserve a certain amount of anti-epidemic supplies before school starts, carry out comprehensive renovation of campus environmental sanitation, thoroughly clean and eliminate key places and key parts, and improve campus sanitation in all directions.

  The province requires all localities and universities to carefully formulate school opening work plans and prepare for the connection between online and offline teaching. Once the local epidemic situation does not allow it, online teaching can be started at any time.
