Shanghai will almost completely return to lockdown for a cycle of mass testing over the weekend: Covid cases continue to emerge, causing lockdowns and a rush for food.
After the exhausting closure of two months, the plan, reported by local authorities, started from an area with few infections, but was then extended to 15 of the 16 districts, involving almost all 26 million residents.
The Municipal Health Commission reported that yesterday 6 local cases (plus 2 imported) and 5 asymptomatic (plus 4 imported) were detected: 5 infections were found outside the quarantine areas, triggering the alarm.
