The People’s Committees of districts and towns shall base themselves on the actual epidemic situation, to decide and take responsibility for sending students back to school in their localities, while continuing to improve and strengthen the physical facilities and human resources for the school’s medical force and to ensure that the school medical staff are fully equipped and ready when students return.
