The Center for Protection of the Department of Health suddenly tightened the suspension of upper respiratory tract infections on Tuesday (17th) night, requiring primary and secondary schools and kindergartens where the outbreak occurred to suspend classes for no less than seven days from Wednesday (18). The new recommendations aroused the academic community Criticize and question.

The principals of aided primary schools will bombard the confusion of information and the lack of access to enquiries. The principals of secondary schools also described the requests as scary.

Dai Dezheng, chairman of the Wan Chai District Principals’ Association and Principal of the Anglican Tang Shiu Kin High School, described that the school hours are stretched and the suspension of classes for primary and secondary schools is uniformly tightened. It is expected that all schools in Hong Kong will have "recurring suspensions". He believes that the practice is questionable.

Dade said on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millenniums" that after two days of clarifying the arrangement, he no longer felt confused, but he suggested that it was scary.

He explained that he understands that there are serious outbreaks in elementary schools and kindergartens and should not be taken lightly. The data shows that there is no large-scale outbreak in middle schools and the ability of middle school students to take care of themselves is relatively high. Therefore, the authorities are advised to deal with the suspension of classes for primary and secondary schools separately.

Epidemic prevention is important, but many people will have allergic noses and runny nose or cough in the weather. It is easy for the whole school to suspend classes when a class breaks out.

In fact, the middle school is not too bad and the school is well kept. It is already half a day in class, and more than three people will get sick with flu. The requirement is questionable because the high school class is already stretched.

Classes must be resumed after the test results are released. However, it takes time to distribute and collect sample bottles. Request to leave school or appear "reincarnation suspension".
