U.S. Orders Govt. Employees To Leave Shanghai Amid Rising Covid
The U.S. State Department on Monday ordered non-emergency U.S. government workers and their family members to leave Shanghai.
The order comes in response to rising COVID-19 cases and restrictions related to the Chinese government’s response.
China and Hong Kong have a zero-tolerance approach to COVID-19, which severely impacts travel and access to public services, a travel advisory said.
The State Department advises Americans to reconsider traveling to China, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Jilin province, and Shanghai.
Shanghai, China’s most populous city, is one of the regions hit worst by an unprecedented virus wave.
China recorded more than 100,000 infections in March alone.
