BEIJING — China's Ministry of Education has planned to increase the frequency of regular nucleic acid testing for students and school staff, offering those in key positions weekly testing.

Strict campus management should be carried out to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, the ministry said at a recent video conference on epidemic control and prevention.

The ministry stressed that schools nationwide should stick to the dynamic zero-COVID policy, while improving emergency plans for epidemic prevention and control to ensure the smooth and orderly work of education and teaching.
