进才东校97名师生因疫情居家隔离，在线参与开学典礼 - 2021年09月02日
Quarantined students offered support via online communication and learning
The east branch of Jincai Middle School in the Pudong New Area had its new semester's opening ceremony livestreamed on Wednesday. It wasn't because there were any celebrities attending the event, but rather because 90 of its students are still under quarantine in connection to recent COVID-19 cases in Shanghai.
"They are in either middle-risk areas or buildings locked down due to close contact with confirmed cases," said Qiu Yili, director of the school's student development center. "To make them not feel left behind, we decided to livestream the ceremony."
To ensure their studies, the school has delivered textbooks to their homes, along with a letter from principal Zheng Gang and postcards from classmates.
