Shanghai to allow residents to go outside under certain conditions
Authorities in the Chinese city of Shanghai plan to allow residents of areas deemed to present low risk of coronavirus infection to go out under certain conditions.
City officials confirmed 23,624 new infections on Friday. Most cases were asymptomatic. The tally is a record high for the eighth consecutive day.
Lockdown measures remain in place throughout most of the city. Some residents are complaining about the difficulty of obtaining food and other daily essentials.
City officials said on Saturday they will apply different restrictions to different zones of the city based on infection risks determined by PCR test results and other factors.
