Hong Kong third wave: education officials look at mass Covid-19 testing for schools, priority return of face-to-face teaching for some students

By ITS Education Asia


One measure being considered is mass testing of students to try to help ensure the virus is not being spread to allow students to return to face to face classes.

Secretary for Education Kevin Yeung Yun-hung said pupils coming into their first and final years of primary and secondary education could be allowed to return to school grounds first, after announcing on Monday the decision to extend the suspension of face-to-face teaching until further notice.

However, at Hong Kong’s daily Covid-19 press conference, Dr Chuang Shuk-kwan of the Centre for Health Protection said: “I'm not sure [about] the rationale for testing students, because one test does not mean anything. “If you [are] asymptomatic, and you tested negative, you may still get infected afterwards.”

As discussed in the SCMP article, much is still undecided on the best way to safely ensure students can return to face to face classes.  Here at ITS we can help parents by providing tailored online learning solutions to help ensure you child does not fall behind in the studies.  Contact us for a free consultation on how we can help you.
