Nghe An Department of Education and Training requires schools to temporarily suspend field trips and training to epidemic areas.

On the afternoon of July 28, the Department of Education and Training issued a document to strengthen prevention and control of Covid-19 epidemic.

Accordingly, the Department of Education and Training directed educational institutions not to be subjective, focusing on implementing epidemic prevention and control measures in the new situation. Encourage officials, teachers, staff and students to wear masks in crowded places, wash hands with soap and disinfectant solution.

In the past, many schools have also organized field trips for teachers and students. Therefore, the Department requires the Department of Education and Training and schools to coordinate with local authorities and the health sector to review and make a list of all staff, teachers and students who came to Da Nang city from July 12 to 28.

At the same time, require medical declaration, self-monitoring of health and timely notification to local authorities and health agencies if there are any unusual symptoms.

Faced with the complicated developments of the epidemic, the Department also requested units to temporarily suspend organizing study tours for cadres, teachers and employees in Da Nang and areas at risk of infection announced by the Ministry of Health.

In particular, to prepare for the 2020 High School Graduation Exam, schools need to implement environmental sanitation at high school graduation exam sites. In addition, it is necessary to fully arrange clean water systems, drinking water, hand sanitizer for candidates and exam staff. Focus on reviewing equipment, medicine, supplies, necessary means, and be ready to deal with possible situations.
