WUHAN — Nearly 1.4 million students in kindergartens, primary and high schools in Wuhan, the city hit hardest by the COVID-19 epidemic in China, will start on-site schooling for the autumn semester on Tuesday with regular disease control measures and emergency response plans in place, local authorities said on Friday. The full resumption of normal teaching in Wuhan, Hubei province, will involve 2,842 institutions, including 63 newly constructed schools, said Wang Chifu, deputy head of the Wuhan education bureau. Overseas students and teachers should not return to campus unless they receive notices from their schools, Wang added. Most students in Wuhan have been taking online classes since January as schools remain shuttered to curb the spread of the virus. College students in Wuhan began returning to campus for the autumn semester earlier this week in staggered time slots.
