Tianjin authorities announced that primary and junior high schools in the city will officially open on September 1.
Colleges and universities across the country are also setting the opening dates for in-person or online classes, mostly at the end of August or the beginning of September. Students will be strictly checked with their "health code" when they register and return to school.
Students from medium- and high- risk areas must provide a negative nucleic acid test report within 48 hours when they return to school.
Teachers from medium- and high- risk areas are not allowed to return to school.
China's Ministry of Education announced on August 9 that schools have to first meet local epidemic control requirements before being allowed to open for the fall semester.
