If there is no abnormality is detected in their body according to the nucleic test, the student can return to school with the test report. If the interval between the release date of high risk areas and the return date is less than 21 days, the student in this area should arrive in Shanghai 7 days before the return date, and stay in the designated hotel for health observation and nucleic acid testing.

iii. Student who lives with a family member and has tested positive for COVID-19 or a student with a history record of the pandemic will have to recover a month and perform a nucleic acid test a week before returning to school.
