Measures taken to facilitate this year's gaokao

Back-up test rooms for those who show symptoms on-site

* Every 10 standard test rooms must come with a back-up room (or quarantine test room) in case students need to sit separately. And at least three of these rooms will be set up at each testing site.

* Each quarantine test room arranged for students that show symptoms of fever and cough during the exam should only have one student there.

* When there are not enough quarantine test rooms, up to four students will be allowed to sit at four corners of the test rooms.

* If any student shows symptoms during the test, they will be quickly transferred to quarantine test rooms, and offered extra time lost during this period.
