Guangzhou Suspends Most Schools as Covid-19 Outbreak Worsens

What’s new: South China’s Guangzhou has suspended in-person classes for primary and secondary schools in eight of its 11 districts beginning Thursday as the metropolis’ Covid-19 outbreak worsens.

The southern manufacturing hub also halted kindergarten, off-campus tutoring, and nursery services, while universities in the city will be under “closed-off management,” said Chen Xueming, deputy director of Guangzhou’s education bureau, during a press conference Wednesday.
