Zuo Wei emphasized that on the premise of following the pandemic prevention and control requirements, all the commercial outlets should overcome the shortage of staff and other challenges with might and main, arrange healthy service staff to enter school and actively allocate resources, so as to stay in normal operating status and satisfy the daily needs of teachers and students in school. Meanwhile, he also stressed that all the workers must wear masks, make extensive efforts in disinfection, and try their best to guarantee the campus service assurance work, thus serving the teachers and students well.
Canteen Ensures Healthy Food
In addition, Zuo Wei and other team members also went to Meiyuan Canteen, Taoyuan Canteen and Juyuan Canteen to check the food supply at windows, the price, and the canteen environment. At the same time, they were also briefed by the canteen staff on the implementation of anti-pandemic measures in canteens. Afterwards, they repeatedly told the managers to carry out the pandemic prevention and control requirements and ensure a healthy and safe canteen environment, so as to ensure the supply of school meals while caring for the health of employees both physically and mentally.
Also, there is no evidence so far to indicate that mutated variants have escaped from vaccines, and the virus has not generated new serotypes, which means "we have to wait for more data to decide if human beings have to get inoculated repeatedly," Zhang noted.
Gao Fu, an academician from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and head of the Chinese Center for Disease Control, recently said that it seemed that the virus evolves like an influenza virus.
"We probably need to receive jabs against COVID-19 every year, just like how we coexist with influenza," said Gao, adding that when there is an immunity barrier against COVID-19, the regular jabs will be used to prevent critical cases rather than simply avert infections.
To reach herd immunity against COVID-19, China will have to vaccinate 80 percent of its population, and this target is likely to be reached by the end of this year, following stronger public willingness to receive jabs propelled by recent waves of epidemic resurgence in some places, said Chinese top epidemiologist Zhong Nanshan.
China's speed in administering vaccines has been accelerating recently with more than 700 million doses administered across the country by Wednesday, data from the National Health Commission showed.
The intervals per 100 million doses have gradually become shorter, from the previous 25 days, 16 days, nine days, seven days and now only five days, statistics indicated.
Commemorating the first anniversary of Wuhan’s “restart” · International students visit Huoshenshan·Leishenshan Hospital Construction
On April 8, 18 representatives of international students from 9 countries of the International Education Institute of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law (ZUEL) went to the China Architecture and Technology Museum to visit the record of the construction of the Huoshenshan·Leishenshan Hospital, and visit the landmarks of ancient and modern China. Go to the Liberal Arts Ecological Park to build a wooden pavilion with a traditional Chinese tenon-and-mortise structure to commemorate the first anniversary of Wuhan’s “unblocking”.
Volcano Mountain·Leishen Mountain Hospital’s construction documentary exhibition divided into five chapters: "Hero City, Key Deeds, Retrograde Division, Majestic Power, and Light of Hope", recording the entire process of rapid construction of Huoshen Mountain and Thunder Mountain Hospital. Faced with frames of light and shadow, images, objects, and hospital models, under the vivid and detailed explanations of the instructors, international students sighed with emotion for the rebirth of Wuhan in the "City of Heroes", thanks to the ordinary and great "The most beautiful retrograde", lamented the majestic power of the Chinese people at the time of crisis.
Ghanaian student ABOAGYE EMMANUEL MENSAH praised excitedly, "This exhibition is simply amazing! China is really great!". When the instructor mentioned the important role of China's 5G technology in telemedicine and remote monitoring during the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the international students couldn't help but praise the speed of China's information technology development.
Afterwards, the international students went to the ancient exhibition halls and modern exhibition halls to visit and learn. Whether it is the models of the Foguang Temple Manjusri Hall, Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, Beijing Palace Museum Taihe Hall, and Foguang Temple East Hall in the ancient exhibition halls, or the models of Jianghan Pass, Gude Temple, and the administrative building of Wuhan University in the modern exhibition halls, let students We feel the ingenious workmanship of Chinese architecture, the wisdom and wisdom of the Chinese people, and the inheritance and development of Chinese culture.
WUHAN
In addition, international students also went to the Liberal Arts Ecological Park to build a wooden pavilion with a traditional Chinese tenon and tenon structure. First, the staff explained the principle and function of the "mortise and tenon" structure, and then divided the international students into 3 groups. After wearing hard hats and gloves, under the guidance of the on-site teacher, the international students analyzed the drawings and moved them. The materials and joint forces have successfully completed the construction of 3 wooden pavilions, and once again appreciate the unique charm of Chinese architecture in practice.
On April 8th, 18 international students from 9 countries of International Education School went to the China Architecture Science and Technology Museum to visit the record of the construction of Huoshenshan·Leishenshan Hospital, visit ancient and modern Chinese landmarks, and go to the liberal arts ecological park to build a wooden pavilion with a traditional Chinese tenon structure, thus commemorating the first anniversary of Wuhan City's "unblocking" of COVID-19.
By carrying out this activity, on the one hand, through looking back at the road of recovery in Wuhan this year, it guides them to better understand the hard-won achievements of the anti-pandemic, and can further enhance the friendship of international students in China, and it will guide them to cherish the hard-won life at present. On the other hand, it enriches the connotation of international students' understanding about China, cultural education and labor education, and helps international students further understand Chinese culture and China's development, and promotes the communication and exchange of Chinese and foreign cultures.
In order to ensure students’ health and build a safe campus for epidemic prevention and control, in accordance with Nanjing Municipal Policy and the existing situation of campus epidemic prevention and control, Nanjing University of Science and Technology is now rolling out the COVID-19 vaccination for all SIE students in China.
Q1: What vaccine is currently used in Nanjing? How to vaccinate?
Nanjing City currently uses a whole virus inactivated vaccine, which is a vaccine prepared by a certain method to make the new coronavirus lose its infectivity and replication ability while retaining the activity of causing the human immune response. Two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine are required. The recommended interval between the two doses is ≥3 weeks, and the second dose should be completed as soon as possible within 8 weeks. If 8 weeks have passed for special reasons, the second shot must be completed as soon as possible, so as to get the full immune protection effect.
Q2;What is the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine?
The preliminary test showed that more than 90% of the recipients would produce antibodies after 28 days of inoculation, and the protective effect was obvious. A few people have swelling, induration and pain at the inoculation site after inoculation, and a few people have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, nausea, headache and muscle soreness, which usually need no treatment and can recover by themselves in 1-2 days. At present, more than 15 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been inoculated in China, which proves that the vaccine in China is safe.
Q3:In case of allergic condition, can the person receive vaccination?
In case of symptoms of allergy to “any vaccine”, or adverse reactions to other vaccines in the past, it is not recommended to receive COVID-19 vaccine. It is also not recommended to receive vaccination for allergy to adjuvant ingredients (such as disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, sodium dihydrogen phosphate and aluminum hydroxide). In addition, food allergy and drug allergy does not affect the vaccination.
Q4:In case of fever, can the person receive vaccination?
No matter what the disease is, as long as it causes fever, the patient cannot receive vaccination. In case of non-fever or mild symptoms, such as common flu, the vaccination would not be affected.
Q5:In case of acute diseases, can the person receive vaccination?
If the symptoms are serious enough to affect daily life and work, vaccination is not recommended.
Q6:Can female receive vaccination during their special period?
COVID-19 vaccine can be inoculated normally during menstruation, pregnancy and lactation, but is forbidden during pregnancy.
Q7: Can those who have recently received other vaccines receive the COVID-19 vaccine?
Simultaneous vaccination is not recommended, and the interval between other vaccines and COVID-19 vaccines should be more than 14 days.
Q8: People with what other diseases are not suitable for the COVID-19 vaccination?
COVID-19 vaccines are not recommended for people suffering from uncontrolled chronic diseases, chronic immuno-compromised diseases, or specific nervous system diseases. If you have any other special circumstances, please consult the University hospital.
Q9:What are the common side effects of COVID-19 vaccination?
The common adverse reactions were mainly manifested as swelling, induration and pain at the inoculation site, as well as fever, fatigue, nausea, headache, muscle soreness or other clinical manifestations. After the vaccination, if the above site effects occurs, do not panic. Observe carefully whether the side effects gradually reduce, if not, it is recommended to go to the school hospital on time.
Q10:Do you still need to wear masks after vaccination?
Although vaccination can produce immunity and greatly reduce the risk of infection, the protective effect of any vaccine would not live up to be 100%. Some people may not produce enough antibodies after vaccination and still have the risk of infection, especially when the immune barrier has not been established. Therefore, even after vaccination, please keep healthy habits such as wearing masks, washing hands frequently and maintain social distance.
Q11:What preparations should be made for vaccination?
Carry personal identification card (passport), campus card and mobile phone; Take light diet, avoid vaccination on an empty stomach, and wear loose clothes on the day of vaccination.
Q12: What care should the recipients take after taking vaccination?
After vaccination, follow the guidance of the staff to stay in the designated area for 30 minutes observation, and leave the vaccination site on the premises that no symptom has occurred. Avoid showering, drinking alcohol, or heavy sports within 24 hours after the vaccination. Avoid scratching the inoculation area on the body. In case of persistent fever, seek medical advice on time and report to the inoculation unit.

"By 18th-March, foreign students and teachers were vaccinated free of charge, based on the needs of prevention and control of COVID-19," he said. "The staff members were so kind and served us very gracefully. Around 100 Chinese people were also there for vaccination. I can see the sense of satisfaction on their faces."
Pakistani student Muhammad Sultan Irshad got his first shot of COVID-19 vaccine at the campus hospital of Hubei University in Wuhan, Hubei province, on Tuesday. He was one of 12 foreign students at the university who volunteered to get vaccinated that day.
By Tuesday, 13 out of 30 international students at the university had been inoculated with a domestically made vaccine, and one student is waiting for it today, according to the university.
Wuhan University released the notice for foreign students to make an appointment for inoculation on Tuesday afternoon, with a QR code to scan and a form to fill out online.
About 100 of 230 foreign students filled out applications within one hour, and family members of some students came to ask whether they could get vaccinated too. It shows their confidence in the Chinese government and the country's vaccines, said Xu Hui, vice-president of the School of International Education of Wuhan University.
The university planned to finish vaccination for foreign students on Thursday and Friday.
People aged 18 to 59 in Wuhan were allowed to apply for COVID-19 vaccines at 15 designated clinics since March 12, according to local authorities. Foreigners can apply using their passport.
In total, more than 500,000 people in the city have had their first shot, and about 100,000 have finished two doses, data from the local health commission showed.
Foreigners working in international aid companies have also been given the option to take a shot of a Chinese-made vaccine, HT learnt.
Family members in the age group of 18-59 years are included in the offer.
Beijing rolled out vaccinations for its own citizens, mostly for frontline workers, in health care, customs and specific industries that the government selected under emergency laws in July last year, but it was for the first time, earlier this month, that the government reached out to foreign missions, companies and journalists through the Chinese ministry of foreign affairs.
The vaccine being offered is the inactivated Sars-CoV-2 vaccine, developed by Sinopharm’s China National Biotec Group, which has been granted conditional market approval by China’s National Medical Products Administration.
The two shots - the second to be taken after 21 days - will cost about 90-100 yuan each.
Some diplomats, said they were weighing the option whether to take the shot.
]]>The cost of accommodation for international students is also much higher than that for Chinese students In terms of tuition alone, there are about 3,500 long-term international students at Peking University and 80% of African students are at their own expense.
]]>R1-Most of international students are Africans, and they receive a high proportion of awards.
According to the Statistics of Studying in China in 2018 on the official website of the Ministry of Education of China
Therefore, the proportion of African students in total is far lower than most Chinese think. The claim that overseas students are flooded with Africans is not justified by its spreader, but just a rumor. According to statistics, by as early as 2005, the number of self-financed overseas students from Africa in China had exceeded that of scholarship students.
R2-These international students all enjoy high scholarships provided by the Chinese government, with the amount even reaching more than 100,000.
Studying in China in 2018 on the official website of Ministry of Education of China also mentioned:
There are 63,041 Chinese government scholarship students, accounting for 12.81% of the total number of students coming to China; there are 429,144 other international students, accounting for 87.19% of the total number of students coming to China.
So in fact, the number of international students who received scholarships is very low. The budget of the Ministry of Education of China lists clear figures for the expenditure on international students, which was 3.32 billion yuan in 2018. The number of scholarship students is 63,041, with an average of about RMB 50,000 per person.
It is also worth noting that international student programs are almost always profitable.
First, self-financed international students in China generally have to pay much higher tuition fees than Chinese students. Take Peking University as an example, its tuition standards for international students are as follows
The cost of accommodation for international students is also much higher than that for Chinese students
In terms of tuition alone, there are about 3,500 long-term international students at Peking University. If all tuition fees are paid, the income will be 100 million yuan. And it is not hard to find in the annual budget of Peking University that the expenditure on international students, which includes scholarships such as living expenses, tuition fee waiving and other possible items, is 55.57 million yuan.
R3- The "Chinese Government Scholarship" is only one type of scholarship provided by the Chinese central government, and there are others. For example, "Great Wall Fellowship", "University Independent Enrollment Scholarship", "ASEAN Scholarship", and so on.
"Great Wall Fellowship", "ASEAN Scholarship", "University Independent Enrollment Scholarship" and so on are all sub-items of the "Chinese Government Scholarship"
R4-In addition to the scholarships provided by the central government, local governments have also established scholarships. Therefore, after taking this part into account, the vast majority of international students can get a scholarship of 60,000 to 100,000 yuan.
The central government accounts for the main part of the expenditures on international students, but it is not easy to find government statistics in each region. Take Beijing and Shanghai as examples (most of the foreign students in China are in Beijing and Shanghai). The local governments of Beijing and Shanghai have provided scholarships totaling 134 million yuan for foreign students in China. This is far less than the “Chinese Government Scholarship”.
It should be noted that :
1. Scholarship coverage for international students of all types is almost certainly less than 20%.
2. 80% of African students are at their own expense.
3. International student programs make money, not lose money.
More Chinese visa issuing authorities have offered facilitation to visa applicants who have been inoculated with Chinese COVID-19 vaccines, which is believed to be a vital step for China to promote vaccination certificates and resume exchanges while the country still has strict quarantine policies on international arrivals.

More Chinese visa issuing authorities have offered facilitation to visa applicants who have been inoculated with Chinese COVID-19 vaccines, which is believed to be a vital step for China to promote vaccination certificates and resume exchanges while the country still has strict quarantine policies on international arrivals.
"Specific standards like the level of antibodies can still be used as an index to assess the health condition of people while the world is exploring the way to resume exchanges" by Zeng Guang, former chief epidemiologist of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention
The certificate should include a positive result of an IgM antibodies test that demonstrates the person has built immunity against COVID-19, Yang said, noting that it is a convention that researchers had to accept thorough infectious disease screening and have various vaccines injected before traveling to epidemic-hit areas abroad to conduct study.
Confirmed COVID-19 Cases in Zhejiang Province(Total1322)
All confirmed cases in Zhejiang have been quarantined for medical treatment in designated hospitals
The Updated COVID-19 Cases until 15 o’clock March 15, 2021
Notes: 5 new overseas imported cases were reported in China on March 14 , 2021 and the total confirmed overseas imported cases are 5146; 9 new asymptomatic cases were reported in China on March 14, 2021 and the total asymptomatic cases are 265.
In view of the quick and serious epidemic development abroad, especially in USA, India, Brazil, UK, Turkey, Italy, Spain, Germany and so on, all ZUST members will try our best to prevent the import of the overseas cases, and we therefore need your active and high cooperation.
According to the Communiqué on Land Greening Status in China in 2020 issued by the Office of the National Greening Committee, in 2020, China will complete 6.77 million hectares of afforestation, 8.37 million hectares of forest tending, 2.83 million hectares of grassland improvement, and 2.096 million hectares of sand prevention and control.
And a research report released by NASA in 2019 shows that from 2000 to 2017, the new green leaf area (total area of plant leaves) on the earth is equivalent to an extra piece of Amazon rain-forest; among them, China has the highest net growth rate (17.8%). )
And a research report released by NASA in 2019 shows that from 2000 to 2017, the new green leaf area (total area of plant leaves) on the earth is equivalent to an extra piece of Amazon rain-forest; among them, China has the highest net growth rate (17.8%). )
After decades of afforestation projects, these shelter-belts have effectively curbed sandstorms, desertification, and soil erosion, and have also improved the ecological environment. The local government has combined afforestation with industrial production, coordinated environmental and economic development, and helped alleviate poverty and become rich.
Take the Mu Us Desert as an example. In the past 70 years, generations of Chinese foresters have planted trees to control sand, turning the "barren land" desert into a piece of green land.
From 1999 to 2019, a total of 508 million acres of farmland has been converted to forests and grasslands, including 199 million acres of cropland to forests and grasses, 263 million acres of barren hills and wastelands, and 46 million acres of mountains and forests.
Taking Shaanxi Province as an example, 41.06 million mu of farmland has been returned to forests and grasslands. From 2000 to 2018, the average percentage change of the vegetation index in Shaanxi Province was 17.9%, twice the national average, and the forest coverage rate in Shaanxi Province was over 45%.
In Wuqi County, Shaanxi Province, the old loess high slope are covered with colorful and green plants.
●"Internet + National Voluntary Tree Planting" Continued to be Launched
Citizens can participate in national greening projects through official website adoption and donation. Or as long as you open the Alipay app, you can harvest virtual green energy based on your daily exercise volume, green travel, etc., and you can plant trees and protect green spaces after reaching a certain amount, according to statistics.
●Planting trees should start from children
Chinese children learn to understand Arbor Day from kindergarten. On March 10 this year, international students from Zhejiang University of Technology and children from the kindergarten affiliated to Qianjiang Foreign Language Experimental School participated in the Arbor Day.
From the country to the enterprise, to the people, the concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" has been deeply rooted in the production and life of Chinese people.
[March 7th] China confirmed on Sunday that it would issue "health certificates" - an initial step towards a global health passport that would allow for free international travel amid COVID-19.
"We will introduce an international health certificate... and launch the Chinese version of an international electronic health travel document" Foreign Minister Wang Yi said at his annual press conference. This will verify nucleic acid tests and vaccination records!
New Clinical Trials
According to Wang, over 100,000 volunteers from at least 100 countries are participating in international clinical trials of China's COVID-19 vaccines and more than 60 countries have approved their use, suggesting their safety and efficacy.
Chinese experts agree that mutual recognition of vaccination and health conditions will benefit international exchanges. A Shanghai-based vaccine expert commented that there could still be stricter management measures in future, however.
Vaccine Passports
It was also suggested that international arrivals could be exempt from the 14-day quarantine if they tested negatively and have this passport, and that people within China could travel freely.
Mutual Recognition
Vaccination mutual recognition means an agreement on vaccines and their effectiveness, however such a thing will require lengthy negotiations. It is expected to start with regions like Hong Kong and Macau and then hoped to expand internationally.

Two days before Tree-Planting Day (which ushers in Friday), Hangzhou Jianggan’s Qianyun International Community welcomed some special guests. Despite an age gap, the kindergarten kids and 11 internationals from Zhejiang University of Technology paired in groups to celebrate the Tree-Planting Day.
The activity began with a warm-up game asking the kids to sort out waste. “Fish bones go to the wet trash bin!” The kids, aged around 5, raised their hands with quick responses.
Dr. Chen Guang, an associated researcher from Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences was invited to teach them the origin of China’s Arbor Day. She went on to describe bilingually the life of a tree, on how it grows, drinks, and breathes (known as photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration). “Do you know Tomb Sweeping Day used to serve as Tree-Planting Day?” Bending down on the kids’ eye level, she talked in a most gentle tone.
Dr. Chen Guang was encouraging kids to love the plants
Chinese has a long tradition of planting willows on Tomb Sweeping Day. The year 1929 came the date change to March 12, in order to commemorate Sun Yat-sen, co-founder of the Kuomintang (KMT), who is widely regarded as the father of modern China.
Friendships across age were well forged when the guests drew a “green future” together on a big banner. “What are we drawing?” “Flower!” Shy yet courageous, a little girl answered to her big friend in English.
The event culminated with a tree adoption ceremony. With the names of both Chinese and internationals written on a tag, and hung on a cherry tree, the theme of the event,“Adults or Kids, Foreign or Native, We Stand as One”was highlighted

China is ready to supply COVID-19 vaccines to African countries,
Goods can be transported twice a week from Shenzhen to Africa and then to other countries via Addis Ababa.
]]>Beijing is building a logistics network that will include a cold-chain air route from Shenzhen to Ethiopia, the report said. The route is characterized by ultra-low temperatures, which will make it possible to deliver COVID-19 vaccines to Africa, the report said. Goods can be transported twice a week from Shenzhen to Africa and then to other countries via Addis Ababa. Ethiopian capital was also recently used in March of last year as a base of supply of over 5.4 million face masks that were distributed to various African nations, a donation from Ma's Foundation.
Similarly, Shenzhen-based logistics companies China International Shipping Containers and SF Express have set up facilities to allow vaccines and medicines to be transported to other countries .Egypt has received two batches of COVID-19 vaccine, a total of 100,000 doses, transported through the United Arab Emirates and made by Sinopac, the report said.
Wu Peng, Director-general of the African Department of the Chinese Foreign Ministry tweeted: "China will actively consider providing vaccines to other African countries in need to help ensure an early victory against the epidemic."
