NEWS: COVID setback for Shanghai, Beijing braces

China’s commercial capital of Shanghai has been dealt a blow as authorities reported 58 new COVID-19 cases outside quarantine areas, while Beijing pressed on with testing millions of its people on a May Day holiday few were celebrating.

Tough coronavirus measures in Shanghai have stirred rare public anger, with many of the city’s 25 million people confined indoors for more than a month, some sealed inside fenced off residential compounds and many struggling to secure daily necessities.

Shanghai residents breathed a sigh of relief at the weekend with no cases confirmed outside quarantine areas for two days, but bad news came on Monday with the reporting of the 58 new infections.

Authorities did not comment on the new cases at a media briefing but members of the public weighed in online.

“They announced that they stamped out cases at the community level too early,” one person commented on the Weibo social media platform.

But many people also took heart from data that showed an encouraging trend with 32 new deaths on Sunday, compared with 38 a day earlier, and 6606 new asymptomatic cases, from 7084 the previous day.
