Shanghai schoolchildren will gradually resume some in-person classes in June with daily COVID-19 tests, the local government said Thursday, as the Chinese metropolis gradually emerges from a lengthy lockdown that brought it to a standstill.
The country has been fighting its worst coronavirus outbreak since the start of the pandemic, with the epicenter Shanghai banning its 25 million residents from leaving their homes for weeks.
"We will ensure that students get swabbed on campus after school every day," with results from their PCR tests available by the next morning, Yang said. Those who test positive for COVID -- even if they have no symptoms -- are sent to mass quarantine centers or isolation facilities. Patients who stayed there and in other makeshift quarantine halls complained to AFP of inadequate sanitary conditions and overworked staff.
