The Hong Kong Government announced a number of latest anti-epidemic measures yesterday (2nd), including arrangements for the full resumption of classes.
The Secretary for Education, Yang Runxiong, pointed out that due to the different vaccinations in each school, it is impossible to predict the number of schools that can fully resume classes in the new school year.
He also estimated that there are not many schools that can fully resume classes on September 1. "If the family considers injections first, the two injections are already at the end of the month, so we have to wait on the 14th."
The government also announced that if the second dose of vaccination rates for school staff and students reach 70%, 14 days apart, they can respond to full-time face-to-face classes according to the actual situation.
The Secretary for Education, Yang Runxiong, stated on the RTHK program that 47% of all teaching staff in Hong Kong who have received the first or second dose of the vaccine, together with the proportion of teachers who plan to be vaccinated, reach 70%. Students aged 12 or above have already The proportion of vaccination or planned vaccination reached 40%.
He pointed out that due to the different vaccinations in each school, it is impossible to predict the number of schools that can fully resume classes in the new school year. However, he noticed that all faculty members of some schools have been vaccinated and reiterated that "(schools) do not have to be before September 1st. Be careful (inoculation rate), and return to the whole day in October in October."
He also estimated that there are not many schools that can fully resume classes on September 1. "If the family considers injections first, the two injections are already at the end of the month, so we have to wait on the 14th."

Individual students who have received injections can respond to extracurricular activities Yang Runxiong: Guidelines will be updated
If an individual student has completed two doses of vaccinations for more than 14 days, the school can arrange for them to conduct non-academic activities, such as music or sports activities, after half a day of class.
Yang Runxiong said, "A certain activity must be kept safe." For example, special arrangements for high-risk activities such as swimming and playing musical instruments. The relevant guidelines will be updated later.
He hopes to provide opportunities for extracurricular activities as much as possible under safe circumstances, and emphasizes that instead of "punishing students who do not get injections," the Education Bureau will provide maximum flexibility where feasible.
The Education Bureau also provides flexible arrangements to allow teachers and staff to meet the vaccination requirements, and the proportion of students at individual levels receiving the second dose of vaccine can reach 70%, and full-time face-to-face classes can also be returned for that level.
Yang pointed out that some junior high school parents "worry about their children and didn't want to get an injection." Considering the school's teaching operations, students of the same level will have more contact. The school can arrange resumption of classes for certain levels according to the injection situation.
Since the minimum age for vaccination is 12, the resumption of classes this time has not benefited elementary schools and kindergartens. Yang Runxiong said that if kindergartens and elementary schools want to resume classes, it depends on the overall situation of the society and the vaccination rate.

As for the mandatory injections for faculty and staff, Yang Runxiong pointed out that relevant measures can ensure a safer school environment.
He bluntly stated that as a faculty member, he has the responsibility to protect students, especially kindergarten and elementary school children because of age restrictions, "they have no chance to get injections, and (faculty members) are more responsible." If there are faculty members, they are unwilling to cooperate with measures. "Injection", the school may follow up actions based on individual mechanisms.
