Once a candidate’s body temperature is found to be abnormal, another channel leading to the spare examination room will be started immediately to achieve physical isolation from the ordinary examination room.

  Guangdong has implemented health monitoring for all candidates for 14 consecutive days before the exam. All candidates must report their personal health status and action track daily through the WeChat WeChat official account of Guangdong Education Examinations Institute.

Candidates can bring personal protective equipment such as sterilized paper towels into the examination room, and they should wear disposable medical surgical masks during the examination.
