Parts of China’s biggest cities Beijing and Shanghai are facing new lockdown restrictions again on Thursday, in an attempt to control a spike in COVID-19 infections.
China’s largest economic hub started imposing new lockdown restrictions on neighborhoods.
Shanghai’s authorities announced the lockdown of a district of 2.7 million people on Sunday, while the Chinese capital has shut down entertainment venues and internet cafes in its popular districts.
According to Reuters’ latest COVID Tracker released on Thursday, infections are decreasing in Mainland China, with 47 new infections reported on average each day, representing 1% of the peak.
Shanghai had been in a two-month lockdown, shuttering many malls and venues as well as many other Chinese cities, causing damage to the Chinese economy and slowing international trade.
The country’s economic center eased the restrictions earlier on June, 1st.
