HONG KONG (China Daily/ANN): Hong Kong schools will begin summer vacation next Monday (July 13) as a surge in Covid-19 cases within the community after a long stretch without infections forces the financial hub to revert to tighter social distancing rules.

Briefing the press on Friday (July 10) afternoon, Hong Kong Secretary for Education Kevin Yeung Yun-hung said secondary and primary schools as well as kindergartens will suspend class starting on Monday.
