Despite weeks of lockdown, Shanghai authorities have enhanced anti-COVID measures in a bid to achieve zero cases in all 16 districts, with some residential compounds being fenced off and daily mass testing for thousands of residents.
On May 1, Gu Honghui, deputy secretary-general of the Shanghai municipal government and director of the city’s anti-pandemic office, said that six districts in Shanghai have reached “basic zero-clearance” at the social level, China National Radio reported.
