Dozens of students have been held inside a Chinese primary school for hours after it was locked down after a staff member tested positive for COVID

Students were forced to stay in the class rooms as large group of parents gathered outside the school, anxiously waiting for news which did not come through until almost midnight.

The children were tested and reportedly told to wait in the school overnight until their results were released.

The students are thought to have been between seven and 12 years of age.

According to local reports by Jimu News, the school principal finally emerged at around 11:30pm local time.

The school told waiting parents that some children would have to go into quarantine

They were then asked to pack clothes for the children, who would have to spend the night at school.

The school principle added that they would be released the next day when the results were out.

It is not clear how many students were affected by this but a news report by the Falun-gong linked New Tang Dynasty Television outlet reported that 35 students were eventually taken away into quarantine.
