News from our newspaper (Reporter Zuo Handi) The 280 million students will start school soon. How to coordinate the education and teaching of the new semester and prevent and control the epidemic? A few days ago, the Ministry of Education issued the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in Education and Teaching and Epidemic Prevention and Control for the Fall Semester of 2020", requiring schools in all regions to fully restore the order of education and teaching, combining the local epidemic prevention and control situation and the actual situation of the school, and actively and steadily formulating the school opening work plan , And establish and improve the joint epidemic prevention and control mechanism before the beginning of school, do a good job in epidemic prevention material storage and campus environmental sanitation rectification, "one person, one file" formulate back-to-school student information ledger to ensure that students can be traced back to school.

Recently, many universities, middle schools and primary schools have announced their school opening arrangements. The reporter noticed that Wuhan University requires different types of students to register in four batches from August 24 to September 11. Tsinghua University also makes regulations for the registration of undergraduate freshmen, which are divided into three groups: September 5, 7, and 8. Batch. "After the students come back, when the population density is relatively high, it is easy to bring greater risks, so it is necessary to stagger the peaks within the school." Wang Dengfeng, director of the Office of the Leading Group for the Response to the New Crown Pneumonia Epidemic of the Ministry of Education, said.
In response to the issue of whether it is necessary to wear a mask after school starts, the National Health Commission and the Ministry of Education previously issued the "Autumn and Winter New Crown Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Technical Plan (Updated Version)" for universities, primary and secondary schools, and nursery schools. The students and teachers in the school do not need to wear masks; primary and middle school students should carry masks that meet the standard of disposable medical masks or equivalent protection levels. Students on campuses in low-risk areas do not need to wear masks; children are not recommended to wear masks when they are in kindergartens .

Henan Province requires college students to take body temperature tests, check electronic health codes, and disinfect their bodies and luggage when entering the school. In principle, mobilization meetings, large-scale drills, and inspections will not be organized. Zhejiang Province requires teachers and students to measure their body temperature every day for 14 consecutive days before the start of school, record their health status and activity track, and report them to the school truthfully; Beijing focuses on student catering management and requires school cafeterias not to purchase without relevant permits , In principle, cold chain foods with certification materials such as business licenses and product qualification certificates are not allowed to produce and sell cold foods, raw foods, pastries, and high-risk foods such as green beans and fresh day lily.
Wang Dengfeng said that the current epidemic has not completely passed, so prevention and control measures cannot be relaxed at all. "The nationwide resumption of work and production has entered a new stage. As far as the education system is concerned, while the normal education and teaching order is fully restored, the epidemic prevention and control measures must be implemented in strict accordance with technical plans and various requirements."
