Two students in the class were diagnosed.
Zhang Zhujun said that due to the small scale of the school, with only 92 students and 17 staff members, a total of 9 students and 2 teachers have been diagnosed with the disease so far. In addition, there is sleep time, and there is fear of transmission in the school. Therefore, it is recommended that the whole school be closed for a week to prevent the spread of the virus. To ensure safety, it became the first school to suspend classes.
St. Joseph's College in the Central and Western District had previously suspended classes for a week in class 4F, and now three more students in class 4D have tested positive and need to suspend classes again.
