Shanghai schools ordered to hold classes online to stem Covid infections
Sumary of Shanghai schools ordered to hold classes online to stem Covid infections:
Cases have been increasing since China abandoned some of the world toughest restrictions last week, and there are fears that Covid could spread rapidly in the country population of 1. 4 billion during next month lunar new year vacation.
China stopped reporting asymptomatic cases on Wednesday, citing a lack of testing by people with no symptoms that was making it strenuous to accurately tally the total count.
Shanghai education bureau has told schools to hold classes online from Monday as rising numbers of Covid infections knock cities across China.
Excluding imported infections, China reported 2,229 new local symptomatic cases, up from 2,091 on Thursday.
