Students of the Chinese city of Wuhan, the source of the emerging Corona Virus, returned to their schools on Wednesday, wearing protective masks, after crossing one by one in front of thermal scanners to measure body temperature.
For the first time since their city was completely closed in January, finalists at 121 institutions have resumed lessons in front of planks and digital screens, while sitting on individual seats separating them by one meter.
The return to school procedure included only the older students in the final vocational and secondary stage, as they had to prepare for a crucial examination that determines the fate of their entrance to the university, while the authorities did not specify the dates for the return of students of other stages to their classes, but some towns allowed them to resume studies.
China’s most prominent city is gradually returning to normalcy, after months of severe restrictions and the closure of large sectors of the economy aimed at controlling the virus outbreak.
In recent months, the number of injuries in the country has decreased, and no new cases have been registered in Hubei Province for nearly a month.
