The second phase of relaxing social distancing measures will take effect today (19th). The Education Bureau announced the newly revised school epidemic prevention measures, including relaxing the rules for school activities. Half-day large-scale group activities such as parent day, open day, and campus visit will not be limited. Students who have been injected can also arrange a half-day non-academic extracurricular activities on Saturdays.
If the mask needs to be removed, only students who have received two injections for more than 14 days are allowed to participate.
A number of parents were recently dissatisfied with the school's refusal to allow their uninjected children to participate in the graduation ceremony. According to the latest guidelines, all students in kindergartens, primary and secondary schools are allowed to attend, but the school should try to shorten the ceremony time and arrange fewer performances.
The authorities also asked to maintain the daily rapid antigen test arrangement until late June, and allowed students to take the rapid test in school if they forgot to take the rapid test but have already arrived at the school.

Students can participate in half-day non-academic extracurricular activities on Saturdays
A spokesman for the Education Bureau said that in response to the relaxation of social distancing measures in the second phase, conditions for students to participate in half-day activities without removing masks, such as graduation ceremonies, parents' days, open days and campus visits, will be relaxed.
However, students attending the event must still comply with the relevant venue's epidemic prevention requirements for those entering the venue.
Primary and secondary schools and kindergartens can also arrange for students to participate in non-academic extracurricular activities (such as music or sports activities, school team training) that do not require removing masks for half a day on Saturdays.
The spokesman pointed out that the relevant measures are believed to help students better adapt to normal school life, and at the same time allow schools to arrange more diversified activities for students to enhance their physical and mental development.
Check the latest revised "School Health Guidelines", which states that if gatherings are to be held, schools may consider holding them in a non-physical or mixed mode to reduce the chance of infection of staff and students.
For physical group activities, schools must ensure that the venue is well ventilated.
All participants must wear masks and keep a distance of at least one meter as far as possible. They should also sit side by side and face the same direction as much as possible, i.e. avoid face-to-face activities.
If half-day group activities are held on campus, such as graduation ceremonies, parents’ days, open days, campus visits, etc., schools should ensure that participants have sufficient social distance and strictly follow various anti-epidemic measures, including ensuring ventilation of the venue.
All participants are required to wear masks, and in principle, they should try to maintain a distance of at least one meter.
Visitors from off-campus must use Safe Travel and meet the requirements of the Vaccine Pass to enter the campus.

For primary and secondary schools, schools can arrange for students who have received two doses of the vaccine for more than 14 days to participate in performances where masks must be removed.
Regarding the arrangement of make-up lessons or extracurricular activities outside school hours, regardless of whether it is necessary to remove the mask, if it is arranged on another half day of the school day or the whole day on the school day, since the students need to eat, the school can only arrange for the vaccination that has been completed Students taking two doses and over fourteen days participate.

Students who have received two doses of the vaccine for more than 14 days can be arranged to participate, but kindergartens are not allowed to remove masks.

Graduation ceremonies should be shortened as much as possible, and performances should be minimized
The "School Health Guidelines" issued by the Education Bureau in mid-April is obviously more stringent, stating that if schools hold large-scale group activities, such as parents' day, open day, school visit, land games or water games, etc., the authorities will only allow two completed vaccinations. Students who are vaccinated for more than 14 days should ensure adequate social distancing and closely follow all epidemic prevention measures.
If the school holds a graduation ceremony, it must shorten the ceremony time as much as possible, reduce the arrangement of performances, and follow the relevant guidelines of the venue or the Education Bureau (including limiting the total number of participants, etc.), but it is not specifically stated that students must participate in injections.
