China’s biggest city, Shanghai is expected to extend its targetted lockdown by Wednesday, in a move to curb the spread of the COVID-19 and resume a normal life.
This extension of lockdown will speed up COVID testing and the transfer of positive cases to quarantine centers.
Earlier this month, Shanghai ordered a total lockdown on its population, after noticing a spike in COVID-19 infections.
The city recorded a spike in positive cases, following the spread of the new Omicron strain nationwide.
China is reporting 2,759 new infections on average each day, representing 59% of the peak, according to Reuters’ latest COVID Tracker released on Monday.
