Despite high daily case numbers, China has signaled a shift in its Covid policy by moving to relax some restrictions after a week of mass protests.
On Thursday, dozens of districts in Shanghai and Guangzhou, both of which have seen an increase in cases, were released from lockdown.
It comes as China faces widespread opposition to its zero-Covid policy.
Restrictions were also abruptly lifted in major cities like Guangzhou on Wednesday.
China has recently recorded the most daily Covid cases since the pandemic began, with over 36,000 cases recorded on Wednesday.
