Enem 2021 will have security measures against Covid-19

The National Secondary Education Examination (Enem) 2021 will have security measures against Covid-19. As in the 2020 edition, the use of a face mask will be mandatory at the application sites. Participants who have Covid-19 or other infectious diseases should not attend the exam and may request reapplication. Failure to comply with the rules may lead to the candidate’s elimination.

The Enem, both in the printed version and in the digital version, will be applied on November 21st and 28th. The rules apply to both versions.

Inside the classroom, students must keep the mask on throughout the exam. The notice stipulates that the mask must be used correctly, covering the nose and mouth. If this is not done, the participant will be eliminated. Candidates will be able to take masks to change during the application, following the recommendation of specialists in the health field.

Protective equipment may only be removed for identification of participants, for eating and drinking. Every time the mask is removed, the participants cannot touch the front of it, and must then sanitize their hands with alcohol in a proper gel or provided by the applicator. Hands should also be sanitized when participants go to the bathroom and during the exam.

Another rule is social distancing. The rooms will be arranged to ensure distance between participants.

Candidates diagnosed with Covid-19 or other infectious diseases in the week before the first or second day of the Enem test must not attend the test sites and may request the exam to be reapplied. In addition to Covid-19, this rule applies to candidates with tuberculosis, whooping cough, diphtheria, invasive disease due to Haemophilus influenza, meningococcal disease and other meningitis, smallpox, human influenza A and B, wild poliovirus poliomyelitis, measles, rubella, and chickenpox.

These candidates will have up to five business days after Enem to request to participate in the reapplication. The request must be made on the Participant’s Page, accompanied by supporting documents.
