Shanghai Lockdown

With over 130,000 COVID Cases Shanghai’s 25 million residents have been in lockdown for more than a week in the latest outbreak.

China's financial center of Shanghai will reportedly start easing lockdown in some areas this week, despite reporting a record of more than 25,000 new COVID-19 infections. Local authorities are trying to get the city back to normal with family food deliveries after more than two weeks of lockdown.
