China’s government indicated on Wednesday it plans to ease Shanghai’s Chinese coronavirus lockdown one day before suggesting it might impose a lockdown on Beijing, according to Chinese state media reports.
Shanghai’s municipal government on April 27 “decided to take what epidemiologists said was ‘a major step toward lifting the lockdown’ to ease restrictions in areas where COVID-19 [Chinese coronavirus] infections were stamped outside the quarantined areas,” the state-run Global Times reported.
Shanghai’s daily new cases of the disease have steadily declined over the past week, according to the newspaper, which relayed the following:
In official figures released Wednesday [April 27], Shanghai reported a 20.1 percent drop in new COVID-19 [Chinese coronavirus] cases over the last 24 hours to 1,606 confirmed cases and 11,956 silent carriers, marking its fourth consecutive day of declines.
Zhao Dandan, a deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, said at Wednesday’s press briefing that 51 million tests were conducted in the past five days, and the rate of positive cases has been gradually dropping.
Areas that have been declared to have stamped out viral infections outside the quarantined areas could see some easing of restrictions and control measures.
While Shanghai seemingly heads toward an easing of its total lockdown, in place since April 5, a separate report by the Global Times on April 28 suggested Chinese Communist Party officials may soon impose a city-wide lockdown order on Beijing to contain a local Chinese coronavirus outbreak. The article revealed that certain sections of Beijing were already under limited lockdown orders as of Thursday. The Communist Party-run newspaper described the affected residential areas as “temporary control zones.”
