The hospitals are the Shanghai Cancer Center Affiliated with Fudan University in Xuhui district and the west branch of Renji Hospital Affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University Medical School in Huangpu district.
All the individuals who had contact with confirmed cases have been placed under quarantine.

The municipal government also announced on Tuesday morning that the two campuses of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University in Huangpu and Yangpu districts have resumed normal operations after some substandard nucleic acid test results of their staff finally came back negative.
