HONG KONG – Hong Kong students began taking university entrance examinations Friday with masks, temperature checks and social-distancing measures in place after a one-month delay.
More than 52,000 students are expected to sit for the city’s Diploma of Secondary Education examinations, which are used for university admissions.
All examination candidates and testing personnel were required to wear surgical masks and sanitize their hands. Students underwent temperature checks and had to sign health declaration forms before entering the testing venues, where desks were spaced at least a meter (yard) apart.
The exams will take place until May 25. They were to start in March 27 but were postponed as virus infections rose in Hong Kong.
