About 57,800 students in their final year from 121 high and vocational schools returned to campus on Wednesday in Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei Province, and previously hard hit by COVID-19 outbreak.

Wearing uniforms and masks, students at Hubei Wuchang Experimental High School had their temperatures taken and hands disinfected before entering their classrooms while maintaining a one-meter distance from their classmates.

According to Ai Jianhong, the school's Party secretary, all students, teachers and staff had passed nucleic acid testing. Meanwhile, four rounds of disinfection across the campus, including classrooms, dormitories, canteens and offices had been carried out.

An observation area, with one doctor and one nurse on shift, was also set up in the school.

"If any students develop a fever, cough, or feel uncomfortable, they will be sent to the area immediately for medical examination and epidemiological investigation," Ai added.
