2 schools in Hangzhou closed due to the new crown epidemic before the two sessions of the Communist Party of China
Hangzhou was the first city to report the outbreak of the new crown virus and announce the suspension of many schools before the two sessions of the Communist Party of China.
On the evening of February 19, a notice to the parents of class 2 (3) of a public elementary school in Xihu District, Hangzhou showed that a total of 10 people in the class had symptoms of new coronavirus infection such as fever and sore throat, and all antigen tests were positive.
