The second is that the school must have sufficient anti-epidemic materials. He said that once the class is fully resumed, the school will consume 1 million masks every day, and it must have different sizes to meet the different needs of young and young students.

Ye Jianyuan stated in the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Letter to Hong Kong" that new types of coronavirus pneumonia have spread all over the world, and the local epidemic is likely to be endless due to the import of new cases from other places. Based on the SARS experience in 2003, the epidemic is expected to be promising Estimates ending in the hot summer temperatures are most likely no longer applicable.

During the suspension period, many elementary and secondary schools have compiled "online teaching" materials for students to take home lessons. Ye Jianyuan pointed out that although the "non-stop suspension" of remote teaching can make up for the cost of the suspension, the effect is very uneven and can only be regarded as a necessity. Remedial measures.
He explained that distance teaching exposes the disparity between the rich and the poor and the seriousness of the "digital divide." Some middle- and lower-class students have no computers in their homes, or have no access to the Internet, or the Internet speed is too slow to participate in online distance learning at all. The highways for online teaching infrastructure cannot be connected to children at the grassroots level.
