Hong Kong’s government is considering conducting mass Covid-19 screening for schools and was looking at prioritizing the resumption of face-to-face classes for students taking their university entrance exams, as well as new starters.
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.
Asked if his bureau would contemplate the large-scale coronavirus testing of students sitting their Diploma of Secondary Education exams this academic year so they could be back in the classroom sooner, Yeung said the city’s health authorities were still assessing which categories of Hongkongers to target.
