China recorded more than 2,000 Covid cases on Monday, its highest level for a month, as officials imposed new lockdowns and restrictions to stop outbreaks from spreading to the capital ahead of the Communist Party Congress.
SHANGHAI, China –
In Shanghai, tens of thousands of people were under lockdown on Monday, after multiple neighbourhoods were suddenly closed off over the weekend, following the discovery on Friday of 23 new infections. As of Monday, Shanghai has nine “medium-risk” locked-down neighbourhoods across six districts, authorities said, but there are likely many more lockdowns of individual buildings that have not been announced officially.
And some Beijing residents who had travelled during last week’s long public holiday were stranded after receiving a Covid tracking app notification which prevented them from boarding trains or flights back to the city.
