In Shanghai, communist party chief Li Qiang promised to continue to take the actions needed to reduce the impact of the latest COVID outbreak. Still, on Monday, the city said that it was partially easing up on a city-wide lockdown although most residents are still forced to follow restrictions on travel.
The lockdown in Shanghai has already caused a food shortage and in Kunshan, the city said that it will continue to keep its COVID policies the same even though the number of cases has declined. Kunshan residents have been asked to comply with the restrictions put in place. Over the past four days, three COVID positive tests were reported in Pegatron’s dormitory in Kunshan.
