One community faces relocation to quarantine facilities more than 100 miles (160km) away.
Video has emerged on social media showing health workers in full PPE walking through Beicai spreading lime powder in the streets and pavements to try to kill any remaining remnants of the virus. Local government officials had earlier denied claims that up to 8,000 people there had tested positive, dismissing it as "false information".
Others said the conditions in the temporary hospitals they'd been moved to were an improvement. One domestic worker who is in her 40s said she was among 100 people taken to a facility where she said the food was better. In an earlier post she'd complained about the government supply of "two carrots, one rotten pumpkin and two ears of corn".
On the same day - 16 April - she visited a nearby area of Shanghai and instructed officials that there should be "no exemptions", adding "all infected people should be treated, all close contacts should be isolated".The BBC has tried repeatedly to contact officials in the area via the public phone number.
