Returning to school requires a negative verification test to prove that nucleic acid testing is normalized

　　In order to ensure the safe start of the school, the Ministry of Education has also issued a notice on the nucleic acid detection work after the start of the school in many places, requiring local education departments and colleges and universities to adhere to the regular full or a certain proportion of the nucleic acid testing system for teachers and students.

　　According to the "Work Plan for Nucleic Acid Sampling of New Coronavirus Nucleic Acids for Teachers, Students and Staff in Schools in the District" issued by Ningxia on the 15th, starting from the spring semester of 2022, counties (cities, districts) will organize the first round of sampling work as soon as possible according to the school reopening situation in their jurisdictions. Tests are carried out once a month, and test results are reported in a timely manner.

　　When the epidemic situation is complicated, the frequency of random inspections can be increased.

At the beginning of the spring and autumn semesters every year, teachers and students who have a history of living outside the district 14 days before returning to school must provide a negative nucleic acid test report within 48 hours before returning to school before applying for admission to strictly prevent the import and spread of the epidemic on campus.

　　In addition, the Hainan Education Department also issued a notice, requiring the nucleic acid testing of teachers and students in schools to be included in the normalized sampling, and try to complete the first sampling task within two weeks of the start of the semester.

　　From a local perspective, some regions require returning teachers and students to provide nucleic acid testing within 48 hours.

For example, the Education Bureau of Lu'an City, Anhui Province issued a notice requiring students and staff of schools at all levels and types in the city to undergo nucleic acid testing before returning to school, and teaching and staff to complete sampling and testing within 48 hours before returning to school.

　　Zhengzhou, Xinxiang, Jiaozuo, Anyang and other places in Henan also issued notices, requiring teachers and students of all types of schools to return to school with a 48-hour nucleic acid test negative certificate. Carry out a nucleic acid test requirement.

Beware of postponement scams

　　With the postponement of the start of the semester, many schools have switched from offline to online, and some lawbreakers have also targeted this "opportunity" and began to commit fraud.

　　Previously, the police in Ningbo, Nanning and other places found that some people pretended to be head teachers and teachers mixed into the QQ group and WeChat group of the class during the law enforcement process.

　　According to the police, after the criminals join the group, they will take advantage of the real-name system of the class group to identify the group members, modify the group business card to pretend to be the parent of a classmate, download the teacher's group avatar, and set the same avatar and Group name.

　　After a period of observation, on the basis of being familiar with the teacher's life rules and speaking habits, the criminals will issue false payment notices, requiring parents to collect tuition and training fees by scanning the QR code. The criminals will also ask parents to upload payment vouchers to Reduce its vigilance, causing the group to be deceived.

　　In addition, since most schools communicated various notices and teaching tasks through class groups during the epidemic, the superposition of information transmission in a short period of time can easily make parents relax their vigilance.

Students and parents who have not started school, please keep your eyes open and beware of being deceived.
