Shanghai residents return to life, following months of strict lockdowns
After weeks of some of the world’s strictest stay-at-home orders, many residents in the Chinese city of Shanghai are returning to life today
The country’s economic hub and global trade superpower were thrown into lockdown after Covid cases began to spike two months ago.
From midnight, locals are able to move freely throughout the city with a population of 25 million.
However, China’s Covid-zero policy remains in full swing, and those who catch the infectious virus still face mandatory quarantine or hospital.
Close contacts are also in the firing line, and may be taken into a quarantine facility, and forced into the area where they live into lockdown down again.
Shanghai’s spokesperson says this is the day many have been dreaming about for a long time and locals need to cherish and protect this newfound freedom.
