GUANGZHOU, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 14th Jun, 2021 ) :Authorities in Guangzhou, the capital of south China's Guangdong Province, announced Monday that the local senior high school entrance examination scheduled for June 20-22 would be postponed to July over COVID-19.

More than 90,000 junior high school students are scheduled to take part in the exam, Gu said.
