Shanghai Beefs Up Covid Rules for New Arrivals Starting Nov. 24

(Bloomberg) — Shanghai will ask new arrivals to stay away from public venues for five days starting Nov. 24 as the financial center seeks to insulate itself from China’s nationwide surge in Covid infections, the local government said in a statement posted on its official Weibo account.

New arrivals in the city will be barred for their first five days from places including restaurants, pubs, shopping centers, supermarkets and wet markets, as well as internet cafes and other entertainment venues, according to the statement.
