Kindergartens and Schools Prevention and Control

Kindergartens and schools are places where young children and students live together, who are vulnerable to diseases and easily suffer cross-infection. 

To accurately guide various schools on epidemic prevention and control, protect the health of children and teachers, and maintain normal teaching order, the leading group on virus prevention of the Ministry of Education on March 12 released different guides on COVID-19 prevention and control in kindergartens, primary and middle schools, and colleges and universities.

For the sake of epidemic prevention and control, the students should do the following: 

* Stay at home for a 14-day observation before returning to school if they have a travel or residence history from areas hit hard by the epidemic (such as Wuhan and other areas); 

* Monitor their body temperature and health every day after returning to school, reduce unnecessary outdoor activities and avoid contact with others; 

* Properly wear surgical or N95 masks when in close contact with their teachers and schoolmates, and minimize the scope of activities. 

Schools should do the following:

* Monitor the health condition of students, take their body temperature twice a day, and make records of absence, early leave and leave; 

* Report to epidemic management staff in case of suspicious symptoms among students, and cooperate with medical and health institutions in the management of close contacts and disinfection work; 

* Avoid organizing large-scale collective activities; 

* Ensure ventilation and cleaning in public activity areas such as classrooms, dormitories, libraries, activity centers, canteens, auditoriums, teacher offices and toilets, and equip these places with hand sanitizers and hand disinfectants; 

* Provide online teaching and make-up classes that students have missed due to the epidemic and illness; 

* Arrange make-up exams for students who miss exams due to illness, which will not be recorded in the archives.

幼兒園、學校防控

幼兒園、學校是幼兒、學生集體生活的場所,易感人群集中,易導致交叉感染。為科學精準指導各類學校做好新冠肺炎疫情防控工作,維護師生員工生命安全、維護校園正常生活教學秩序,2020年3月12日,國家教育部應對疫情工作領導小組辦公室組織編寫的《幼兒園新冠肺炎防控指南》《中小學校新冠肺炎防控指南》《高等學校新冠肺炎防控指南》出版上線,對幼兒園、學校做好應對疫情工作具有指導意義。

幼兒園、學校防控疫情的主要措施包括:返校前有過疫情高發地區(如武漢等地區)居住史或旅行史的學生,建議居家觀察14天期滿再返校;學生返校后應每日監測體溫和健康狀況,盡量減少不必要外出,避免接觸其他人員;學生與其他師生發生近距離接觸的環境中,要正確佩戴醫用外科口罩或N95口罩,盡量縮小活動范圍;學校密切監測學生的健康狀態,每日兩次測量體溫,做好缺勤、早退、請假記錄,如發現學生中出現可疑癥狀,應立刻向疫情管理人員報告,配合醫療衛生機構做好密切接觸者管理和消毒等工作;學校應盡量避免組織大型集體活動,教室、宿舍、圖書館、活動中心、食堂、禮堂、教師辦公室、洗手間等公共活動區域加強通風清潔,配備洗手液、手消毒劑等;校方對因疫情、因病誤課的學生開展網絡教學、補課,對于因病耽誤考試的學生,應安排補考,不應記入檔案。
