Da Nang students have COVID-19 tests before graduation exams
VOV.VN - Approximately 11,000 high-school students from Da Nang, the epicenter of the country’s largest coronavirus outbreak, will be tested for COVID-19 before sitting for graduation exams.
In addition to students, examiners will also be tested for the virus in order to prevent its spread, said Deputy Director of Department of Education and Training Mai Tan Linh.
These students could not take part in the first phase of the exam held nationwide in early August as the COVId-19 outbreak was spreading in the locality.
Of the total figure, 171 students live outside the city, with most of them being free condidates or studying at private schools.
In the event that the students are unable to return to Da Nang for the exams, the city will arrange for them to undertake the exams in neighbouring provinces that also organize the second phase of the exam this time, said Linh.
All candidates that attend the exam will be required to don face masks, undergo a body temperature check, and use hand sanitizer.
