All faculty and students of local schools are asked to enhance health management during the summer vacation as the city tightened its COVID-19 prevention measures.

In a notification released today, the Shanghai Education Commission is requiring all faculty and students to report to their schools if they leave Shanghai, and carry out 14-day health observation ahead of the new semester starting in September.

Citizens are advised to avoid going to high- and medium-risk areas in China or traveling overseas unless necessary. When traveling, they are asked to carry out personal protection and hand disinfection, as well as daily health monitoring.
