Shanghai has emerged as the epicenter of China's worst virus outbreak since the early days of the pandemic with more than 6 300 on Friday. That means the entire population of the metropolis is currently under some form of quarantine as the two-part lockdown shifted to the western half of Shanghai on Friday.
He said the renewed surge in cases following a brief decline earlier this week is the result of wider Covid screening. Authorities tested more than 14 million people in the western half of the city Friday as part of two-round tests. While the lockdown of Shanghai's east officially ended at 5 am local time Friday, most residents were not able to leave their homes immediately under what the local government described as a tiered quarantine regime.People with mild or no symptoms are required to be put under compulsory central quarantine for treatment or monitoring at mostly makeshift facilities built in massive gymnasiums or exhibition centers around the city.
