China’s largest city, Shanghai, has ordered most of its schools to take classes online as Covid cases soar.
Nurseries and childcare centres will also shut from Monday, according to Shanghai’s education bureau.
Restrictions were eased by Chinese authorities earlier this month following a wave of protests targeting China’s zero-Covid strategy.
But the easing of strict lockdown measures has led to growing concerns over the spread of Covid in China.
Significant changes in the country’s Covid testing and reporting systems have made it difficult to know just how widespread the virus has become, with data for the week ending 11 December showing a fall in the total number of new infections across the country after peaking the previous week.
