For candidates with fever or sudden illness, there is no need to worry about panic, and the test centers in various places have formulated corresponding plans.

That is, the Ministry of Education has not made a unified mandatory arrangement on whether to wear masks in the college entrance examination this year.

The Paper combed through the relevant reminders issued before the college entrance examination in various places and found that the relevant departments of many provinces and cities have clarified that ordinary examination room candidates can decide whether to wear masks after entering the examination room and taking their seats.

On June 6, the Beijing Municipal Education Commission issued a health reminder for college entrance examination candidates, clarifying that if there are respiratory symptoms such as fever and cough or other Class B respiratory infectious diseases in the alternate examination room, all candidates and staff in the examination room should wear masks. Candidates and test staff in other examination rooms can wear masks scientifically as needed.

On June 6, the Hubei Provincial Education Examination Institute issued the "College Entrance Examination Emergency Guide" clarified that after candidates arrive at the test center, if they test positive for the new crown or have a fever, they will report to the staff at the entrance of the test center, and the test center will arrange to take the test in an alternate examination room.

For the first time, many places are equipped with "smart security gates" for the college entrance examination

In this year's college entrance examination, the Ministry of Education emphasized that the prevention of mobile phone cheating is the top priority, severely cracking down on cheating using mobile phones and other communication devices, and encouraging all localities to actively equip "smart security gates". Correspondingly, this year, various places have introduced stricter security measures for the college entrance examination, and many places are equipped with "smart security gates" for the college entrance examination for the first time.

The Paper noted that a few days ago, the Beijing Education Examination Institute released the "2023 College Entrance Examination Pre-Examination Warm Tips" mentioned: Beijing this year college entrance examination will take two security checks into the test center and the examination room, in order to facilitate a smooth and fast passage of the security check, candidates are requested to hand over their mobile phones to their parents or leading teachers before entering the test center, do not bring mobile phones, smart watches, smart bracelets and other electronic devices into the test center, and try not to carry unnecessary metal objects (such as jewelry, etc.). If you really need to bring non-test items other than those specified into the test center, please follow the arrangement of the test center and store them in the designated location. Once candidates bring into the examination room such as mobile phones and other devices with the function of sending or receiving information, they will be deemed to have cheated in the examination, and their results in all stages and subjects of the college entrance examination will be cancelled, and recorded in the integrity file of the national education examination.

Yunnan Provincial Admission Examination Institute reminds that college entrance examination candidates implement "intelligent security gate + manual security check", and candidates should cooperate with security inspection and identity verification when entering the examination center. According to Kunming Daily, all examination rooms in Yunnan this year are standardized examination rooms, and all test centers are equipped with intelligent security gates for the first time.

According to the Hunan Provincial Education Examination Institute, Hunan Province also adopted smart security gates for the first time in this year's college entrance examination, and 1030,<> intelligent security gates were added to the province's college entrance examination centers. This year's college entrance examination strictly implements the rule of "no mobile phones are allowed to be brought into the test center", and implements the "double security check" mode of smart security gate + manual security check, to strictly prevent candidates and test takers from bringing communication equipment or other cheating tools into the examination room and examination work venue.

The warm reminder before the examination of the Jiangxi Provincial Education Examination Institute also mentioned that according to the unified deployment and requirements of the Ministry of Education, Jiangxi Province has added a new security gate link for the college entrance examination this year. Candidates entering the examination room of the test center should take the initiative to undergo two security inspections: "smart security gate" and "manual". It is strictly forbidden for candidates to bring mobile phones and other devices with the function of sending or receiving information, electronic storage and recording equipment, watches, correction fluids, correction tapes and other items or accessories into the examination center. On the day of the test, it is recommended that candidates do not bring mobile phones and do not wear clothes with metal accessories to avoid affecting the admission time.

Guangdong Provincial Education Examination Institute requires that all test centers in the province this year will fully adopt the "2+1" admission security check mode, that is, candidates entering the examination room must go through the "two metal detectors + one intelligent security gate" test, and all items unrelated to the test are uniformly placed in the storage place of the test center. In order to ensure timely, efficient and orderly admission, candidates should not bring items unrelated to the test, especially mobile phones and watches with wireless communication capabilities.

Similarly, Shandong Province's college entrance examination this year will also fully prevent mobile phone cheating, strictly "2 manual security checks + 1 smart security check". For the first time this year, all test centers in Hubei Province are equipped with "smart security gates", through the identity verification system, intelligent security gates, and metal detectors, three security checks are carried out for candidates entering the test center and examination room.
