Schools will open normally for the upcoming new semester, which starts in September, local authorities said on Monday, adding that students will need to undergo increasingly frequent nucleic acid testing during the first week back, as Beijing faces pressure to contain COVID-19 following sporadic outbreaks around the country.
To cope with epidemic prevention measures and due to the dense population in schools, students and staff are required to have a negative nucleic acid test report within 48 hours on the first day back to school, and will need to undergo increasingly frequent nucleic acid testing during the first week back.
In addition, universities in Beijing will also require returning students and staff to have a negative nucleic acid test report from within 48 hours and a green health code, and the students will return to campuses in batches.
