Beijing Postpones School Reopenings on Virus Concerns

What’s new: Schools in Beijing will remain closed for at least one week after the Labor Day holiday as the city moves to quell a new wave of Covid flare-ups.

All kindergartens, primary and middle schools, and secondary vocational schools in Beijing will postpone class reopening until May 11, one week after the five-day holiday that originally was to end Wednesday, city officials said Tuesday at a briefing.
