In a Saturday announcement underscoring that expectation, Shanghai officials postponed the “gaokao” university entrance exam for city students by a month. Shanghai is also building thousands of permanent PCR testing stations, in line with other cities, as China looks to make regular testing a feature of everyday life. Beyond Shanghai, dozens of cities have imposed full or partial lockdowns, relaxing and tightening curbs at various times. The city reported 45 new symptomatic Covid-19 cases for May 6, down from 55 cases a day earlier. Businesses ordered closed include karaoke bars, internet cafes, museums and art galleries, said Yang Beibei, deputy director of Chaoyang district.
