A number of schools across China halted classes earlier this week to stem the spread of Covid and other pathogens ranging from flu to the norovirus, as the country begins to see a comeback of other illnesses after pandemic restrictions were eased.
Shanghai suspended in-person teaching in an elementary school class after four students were diagnosed with the flu and others developed similar symptoms. Flu cases—and subsequent class suspensions—were also reported in other schools across Zhejiang province, Chinese capital Beijing and nearby city Tianjin.
China’s unexpected rush to dismantle nearly all pandemic restrictions in early December unleashed the world’s biggest Covid outbreak, with nearly 90 percent of the country’s 1.4 billion population infected in less than two months. While the reopening wave appears to have ebbed, the national CDC still reports around 10,000 Covid cases each day that were confirmed by laboratory tests.
