A retired Shanghai professor died after hours of desperately seeking care without success, in what’s being seen as another non-COVID death attributed to the city’s strict lockdown, according to a former colleague.

Prof. Yu Huizhong at Shanghai-based Fudan University died, aged 79, on April 15, after experiencing a 4-hour wait for medical care, according to an online statement made by his former colleague Qu Weiguo.
