On March 1, in addition to the cancellation of the mask order, all secondary schools in Hong Kong also canceled the daily pre-school quick test requirement for students on the same day.
A student from Chuangzhi Secondary School said that he was happy about the cancellation of the quick test. He also pointed out that there is no need to pre-book the time before going to school every day: "You can get up later." The principal Huang Jingrong pointed out that the arrangement of the quick test has brought a lot of inconvenience and troubles. It took a lot of time to deal with it, and teachers and students were very happy about the cancellation.

It has been nearly a year since the school quick test was arranged. Yu, who is in Form 5, recalled that he was very uncomfortable in the early days, because he had to get up 10 to 15 minutes earlier to reserve time for the quick test.
He is pleased with the cancellation of the quick test requirement, because he no longer has to get up early to take the quick test: "You can get up later."
He said that there are a lot of quick test kits left at home, so he will still "do it from time to time" to protect his personal health.
In addition, the government will revoke the mask order tomorrow, and he is at ease not to wear a mask when going out: "The (epidemic) has eased, and you should wear it first when you go to high-risk places in the hospital." He also pointed out that if there is no requirement to wear a mask when going to school: "It is possible to go back to school. Don't wear it."

The principal Huang Jingrong said that the students and teachers were very happy when they heard the cancellation of the quick test arrangement. He said that the quick test requirement has brought great inconvenience to both teachers and students in the school. If he did not take the quick test before school, the teacher would take him to the lounge to make up for it.
He also pointed out that the student union was more strict at the beginning of the measures, but as the epidemic slowed down, they began to pay less attention to it, especially after the Lunar New Year. Since the resumption of classes last year, no student has been found to be diagnosed during the make-up work.
The school still provides quick test kits and preventive disinfection measures continue
Huang Jingrong said that although there will be no requirement to take the quick test from tomorrow, students will be encouraged to take it when they feel unwell, and quick test kits will also be provided.
In addition, the hygiene measures to prevent infectious diseases in the school will continue. For example, different places will be disinfected regularly, and the baffles on the canteen counter will continue to be retained.
