Chinese financial metropolis Shanghai has reported seven more corona deaths. People aged between 60 and 101 died on Monday, the health authority of the country’s largest city said on Tuesday. The first three corona deaths from the current outbreak were recorded just the day before. For weeks, authorities have been trying to contain the biggest wave of corona since the pandemic began two years ago with draconian measures.
However, the number of new infections remained high. As of Monday, 3,084 symptomatic infections and 17,332 asymptomatic infections were confirmed. Sunday’s comparison numbers were 2,417 and 19,831. During the lockdown, all residents are repeatedly tested. Anyone infected must go to a quarantine facility. In Shanghai, among other things, exhibition halls with tens of thousands of beds were set up for this purpose. It is unclear how long the lockdown will last.
Shanghai is at the center of the biggest wave of corona the world’s most populous country has experienced since the pandemic began two years ago. For several weeks, most of the approximately 26 million inhabitants have not been able to leave their homes. But strict curfews so far have failed to contain the virus. A week and a half ago, city officials reported more than 20,000 infections a day for the first time, and since then the infection rate has remained virtually constant. Since March 10, more than 200 million corona tests have been carried out in the metropolis.
As the rest of the world tries to live with the virus, Chinese authorities continue to implement a strict zero Covid strategy, already responding to small outbreaks of infection with lockdowns, mass testing and aggressive contact tracing. Currently, several cities in the country are partially or completely in lockdown. However, the highly infectious omicron variant pushes China’s strict measures to their limit.
