Shanghai recorded about 25,000 new COVID-19 cases Sunday, setting a new record.
On April 5, Chinese authorities in Shanghai ordered a total lockdown on the city’s population, after noticing a spike in infections.
The spike in cases comes as a result of the spread of the new Omicron strain nationwide.
Shanghai is the country’s biggest city, accounting for over 26 million people, which prompted authorities to react in order to curb the spread of the virus.
Additionally, the Asian country previously put other cities on local lockdown, including Shenzhen and Changchun.
