The easing of strict lockdown measures has led to growing concerns over the spread of Covid in China.
China's largest city, Shanghai, has ordered most of its schools to take classes online as Covid cases soar.
Restrictions were eased by Chinese authorities earlier this month following a wave of protests targeting China's zero-Covid strategy. But hospitals and medical facilities have come under increasing strain, with temporary health centres and intensive care facilities being set up across the country.Some schools in the city have also already stopped in-person classes because teachers and staff are ill.posted on Chinese social media site WeChat on Saturday, Shanghai's education bureau announced that most year groups in primary and secondary schools would move to online learning from Monday.
Some Chinese social media users praised the decision, agreeing that it was best that students stay at home. Others complained about the efficacy of online learning in relation to in-person teaching and the extra strains put on working parents.
