Shanghai to ease lockdown in some areas despite rise in COVID infections
Authorities in China's financial centre of Shanghai will start easing lockdown in some areas from Monday, despite reporting a record of more than 25,000 new COVID-19 infections, as they strive to get the city moving again after more than two weeks.
Authorities in Shanghai have again tightened anti-virus restrictions, just as the city was emerging from a month of strict lockdown due to a COVID-19 outbreak.
The District Administration Office, Surkhet, has extended the ongoing lockdown for one more week considering that spread of coronavirus was not contained as expected.
