Zhang Zhujun, director of the Infectious Diseases Division of the Centre for Health Protection of the Department of Health, said that 6 schools have reported 2 or more cases in the past 7 days, so classes need to be suspended, including:

.

Yinghua College: 5 students in Class 3A were recruited, with a total of 30 students in the class; 5 students in Class 2E were recruited, with a total of 29 students in the class; 3 students in Class 4C were recruited, with a total of 21 students in the class; 3 students in Class 2D were recruited There are 27 students in the class.

The remaining 7 cases are distributed in 6 classes, and 2 of them are also confirmed in class 2A.

Hong Kong Federation of Educators Wong Chu Biu Secondary School: 4 students in Class 5B were recruited in two days, with a total of 18 students in this class.

Zhang Zhujun pointed out that Yinghua College had a total of 23 confirmed cases in the past two days. In addition to the 4 classes where many people were diagnosed, the remaining 7 people were involved in 6 classes. We are looking for whether the relevant classes are involved in other activities.

As the authorities only learned of the reported case at Ying Wah College this morning, the authorities will conduct epidemiological investigations and are investigating the transmission routes, including investigating whether the class involved in large-scale cross-class activities, the seats of students, and whether the class involved is on the same floor, etc. .

There are as many as 10 confirmed cases in Yinghua. When asked why they did not consider suspending the whole school, Zhang Zhujun believes that the daily rapid testing of teachers and students in the school can prevent the spread of cases in the school. The current measures have been effective after a period of time. The speed of the test is fast enough, and the results can be known immediately. On the contrary, the results of the nucleic acid test take time, and students "don't know whether to go back to school or not."
