Beijing: Students from moderate to high-risk regions of coronavirus infections should wear masks when taking the national college entrance exam, or gaokao, this year, says an official from the National Health Commission.
He Qinghua, inspector at the commission’s bureau of disease prevention and control, said students from low-risk regions should wear masks before they enter the test centres and they can decide whether to wear them during the exam. All monitors should wear masks throughout the exam, he said at a news conference.
