Curfew Lifted in Shanghai, Known as a Trade Center

In the last 24 hours, 1,082 cases of coronavirus were seen in mainland China and 329 cases in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. It has been announced that the curfew has been lifted in low-risk areas, where approximately 12 million people live, in Shanghai, China's most populated city.

In Shanghai, the city where the quarantine measures implemented due to the coronavirus epidemic triggered by the Omicron variant in China were gradually lifted, the curfew was lifted in low-risk areas where approximately 12 million people live to date. Shanghai Health Commission Inspector Vu Ganyu noted that after the phasing out of restrictions in the past few days, the regions with approximately 4 million people have changed from the "closed" status to the "control" status as of the first day of the week. Stating that the epidemic was "effectively brought under control" for the first time in a part of the city, Vu added that the population living in the "control" and "prevention" regions where there is freedom of curfew reached approximately 12 million. Precautions Continue The measures put into practice due to the coronavirus epidemic caused by locally-sourced cases carrying the Omicron variant, which was first seen in the capital Beijing on April 22, continue to be used. In the last 24 hours, 50 cases that showed signs of disease and 5 cases that did not show were detected in the city. While public transportation and taxi services were stopped in some regions in Chaoyang, Shunyi, Fangshan and Fingtay counties where the cases were seen, citizens were advised not to leave their regions. In the metropolis with a population of more than 21 million, measures are being taken due to the fear of the spread that will require a closure similar to the one in Shanghai. 1082 Cases Detected In the statement made by the National Health Commission, 212 cases showing signs of disease and 870 cases without symptoms were detected in the last 24 hours in mainland China, 66 of these cases were reported to originate from abroad. In the mainland of China, where the first cases emerged in the Covid-19 epidemic, 222 thousand 582 cases have been detected so far, 5 thousand 218 people have died.
