Hong Kong holds virus-delayed exams with strict health checks


Students in Hong Kong wore mandatory face masks and had their temperatures checked as they filed into exam halls on Friday to take crucial university entrance tests, delayed by a month due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Tens of thousands of pupils will sit the Diploma of Secondary Education (DSE) exams across hundreds of centres over the next month in the financial hub, which on Friday reported no new virus cases.

Strict social distancing measures were put in place at test venues as classrooms were converted into extra exam halls to allow students to sit at least 1.8 metres (six feet) apart.
