US orders all non-emergency consular staff to leave Shanghai, which is under a tight lockdown to contain a Covid-19 surge
The US State Department also advised Americans to reconsider travelling to China"due to Covid-19-related restrictions, including the risk of parents and children being separated."
The State Department said the order announced late on Monday is an upgrade from the “authorised” departure advisory last week that made the decision voluntary. The State Department also issued a series of advisories for Americans in Shanghai to have a “sufficient supply of money, medication, food, and other necessities... in the event of sudden restrictions or quarantine."Many residents in the city of 26 million have been confined to their homes for up to three weeks as China maintains its “zero-Covid” strategy of handling outbreaks with strict isolation and mass testing.
