Travel agencies and online tourism companies in Shanghai have been asked
to immediately suspend trans-provincial group tours and air ticket
services combined with hotel reservations as the city reported three new
locally transmitted Covid-19 cases.
Due to the cases reported on
Thursday, Shanghai announced two communities in its east Pudong
district and one community in its west Qingpu district as medium-risk
areas, reports Xinhua news agency.
Such tours will resume until
all districts and their communities across the city are confirmed as
low-risk areas again, the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture
and Tourism said on Friday.
Meanwhile, travel companies should not organise tours to other provinces or cities which are high- and medium-risk areas.
Shanghai has asked district authorities and travel companies to take strict measures to guard against possible imported Covid-19 cases.
Tours within the city should also take strict epidemic prevention and control measures.
Since the onset of the pandemic in early 2020, Shanghai has reported 2,833 confirmed Covid cases. - IANS
