All pupils from middle and senior high schools across Da Nang were back at school on Monday, 14 September for the first time after the city braced for a second wave of Covid-19 infections.

All schools have put in place virus preventive measures under the Ministry of Health’s rules. School staff and healthcare workers are standing by school gates to ask students to have their temperatures checked, clean their hands before entering their classrooms, use face coverings and maintain a safe distance from others while they attend schools.

Below are some photos, captured by our reporter Ngoc Phu, showing the best practices of infection prevention and control in citywide schools to ensure the safety of all their staff and pupils in order make them feel secure while they are in school.
