All schools in Tainan switch to online teaching
The epidemic situation in Taiwan has been stable in the past. He said that for about half a year, people do not need to wear masks when going out. Students return to school as usual. However, this time the epidemic situation has deteriorated sharply. The local government announced yesterday that all schools in Tainan will switch to online teaching. Online classes will last for two weeks temporarily.
He pointed out that it takes time to adapt to the new teaching model, and next month will be the final exam. It is not yet known how the school will arrange it.
He was about to graduate. He originally planned to return to Hong Kong in June after the trial. However, the epidemic in Taiwan rebounded. He worried that once the alert was raised to Level 4, the "city closure" would be implemented, and the airport would be closed by then and he would not be able to return to Hong Kong as scheduled.
Taiwan's epidemic commander Chen Shizhong said yesterday that the "closure of the city" belongs to the fourth level of crowd control, and it will be upgraded to this level for 7 consecutive days and an average of more than 100 new cases per day.
