Shanghai expands COVID lockdown as new daily caseload surges by a third
Authorities began locking down some western areas of Shanghai two days ahead of schedule, as new COVID-19 cases in China's most populous city jumped by a third despite stringent measures already in place to try to stop the virus spreading.
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.
