The education minister, Kevin Yeung, on Monday said the coronavirus epidemic could change rapidly, so there's still a chance that the public examinations for the Diploma of Secondary Education (DSE) could be delayed further.

He reiterated that the target remains for them to begin on April 24.

Speaking on an RTHK radio programme, Yeung said that if the number of cases rebound next week officials will make the health of exam candidates their priority.

He says that even though there appears to be a downward trend of reported cases in Hong Kong, caution is needed, and the exams can only take place if the epidemic is under control.

The exams have already been postponed for a month.
