Shenzhen Schools Delay Fall Term as City Braces for Fresh Covid Outbreak

Shenzhen has ramped up Covid-19 curbs with schools in some parts of the city postponing their fall term start date and more residents facing movement restrictions, as the technology hub grappled with a fresh outbreak this week.

Four districts in Shenzhen announced four-day lockdown measures on Monday with residents in seven high-risk areas prohibited from leaving their homes. That same day, city officials reported 35 domestic Covid-19 positive cases, of which 11 are asymptomatic.
