The time it took to report the events was positively correlated to the duration and the scale of the events. The sooner the epidemic was reported， the shorter it lasted． <b>Conclusion:The kindergartens and primary schools are the places with a high incidence of infectious diseases reported in schools. Measures such as regular surveillance， vaccination management， early reporting and effective handling should be executed at the early stage so as to prevent the spread of the epidemics.
