Secretaries of the Party Committees and Chairpersons of the People's Committees of the localities hold responsible for deciding whether students can return to school and continuing to improve infrastructure facilities and human resources for, and ensure sufficient equipment for medical forces at schools, towards effectively implementing the plan.
