COVID-19: Shanghai widens testing for COVID-19


Local authorities across China are stepping up virus control measures, including movement restrictions, mass testing and new quarantine centers. Photo: AFPCities that jumped into action this week included Henan Province’s Zhengzhou, which on Thursday said it would test all 12.6 million residents after finding a few asymptomatic cases in the previous few days. The cities collectively are home to an estimated 193 million people and contribute 22 percent of China’s GDP. Stories of crowded and unsanitary central quarantine centers and fears of family separation have driven calls for home quarantine in Shanghai and for China to review its “dynamic clearance” approach. “As long as these measures are implemented well, our country’s severe coronavirus epidemic situation will soon improve,” Wu said.
