The effect of the coronavirus on exams

If schools were shut due to a coronavirus outbreak (not saying that will definitely happen but if it did) what would happen with exams? I mean like A level and GCSE exams, A levels in particular because it's obviously relevant to universities as well. I mean if schools were to be closed for a month then that's a significant amount of time that was supposed to be spent studying for A levels that you've missed. Does anyone have any ideas what would be done realistically about that? It's just a thought that occurred to me and I was curious

Everything would be pushed back.
So university may take students in November instead of September to account for the delaying of exams.

I do not think this will happen at the moment though.
Not least because there are ways to mitgate the risk by making students wear masks/gloves for exams. (Doubt it would even come to this though).

I was thinking about this , and our teachers were probably email us work everyday , if your responsible and care about your a levels then you should just do the work if you don’t then your just shooting yourself in the foot

The masks make the outbreak worse comrade. They don’t help in fact they concentrate it. People advised explicitly not to wear masks.

What's your definition of not working?
They catch droplets which are one of the main ways the virus spreads. It's not 100% protection but they do provide some protection.

"Wearing a face mask is not an iron clad guarantee that you won’t get sick – viruses can also transmit through the eyes and tiny viral particles, known as aerosols, can still penetrate masks. However, masks are effective at capturing droplets, which is the main transmission route of coronavirus, and some studies have estimated a roughly five-fold protection versus no barrier. If you are likely to be in close contact with someone infected, a mask cuts the chance of the disease being passed on. If you’re just walking around town and not in close contact with others, wearing a mask is unlikely to make any difference."

This really shouldn't be stressing me out as much as it is.

It shouldnt be stressing you out at all.
Focus on your studies.
If alternatives are made, then everyone will be treated the same.
I dont see why it would affect exams, even if it affected regular school.

The ministry of health where I’m from just confirmed we’ve got no school for an entire month now. It’s a really small country and there’s about 60 cases (rising by 10-20 everyday). I’m really stressed out because I’m currently doing AS Levels and haven’t finished content for two of my subjects PLUS the only thing teachers can do is set assignments (past papers) for us to do which they can’t mark. Any advice?

Thank you for reassuring me, I will try to calm down. It's just a little stressful, especially because all the people in social media groups are sending material on how to stay safe and the news coverage just makes everything seem daunting.

The masks don’t work firstly. Secondly it is not actually that contagious as diseases goes (shame would love to see neoliberalism brought to its knees).

Hopefully a more aggressive strain picks up. Believe you me I hate the existing economic system as much as anyone.
