Accordingly, a foreign language school in Taiyuan city, Shanxi province has come up with the so-called animal wings and asked all students to wear them at school to limit close contact.
Students’ parents are asked by school authorities to make the “social distancing wings” to the student’s interest. The wings come in different shapes, colors, and creative levels though, all share the same meaningful message “Let’s keep a one-meter distance together”.
The preventive measure is lauded by many people for “being novel” and “is suitable for the mischievous small students who are still not aware of the danger of the virus". Wearing colorful wings is also reported to cheer the students up during class.

They are the most beautiful white-shirted angels”, Zhao Gailing, the school’s principal said.

China is the first epicenter of the novel coronavirus, whose pandemic condition's been gradually put under control roughly four months after the first case reported. Since late April, many educational facilities reopened doors, with preventive measures carefully implemented.
