Yeung said the government had to consider the public health risk posed by cross-border students. “Every day they have to go back to the mainland, it’s impractical if they have to be quarantined for 14 days in Shenzhen," Yeung said. For local students, Yeung said they would be required to wear face masks at all time on campus and in school buses. A letter sent by the Education Bureau to all schools says students should avoid sitting face-to-face. Yeung noted that some schools plan to extend the school year for one to two weeks or arrange extra classes during the summer holiday.
