Shanghai (AFP), Mar 28 – <\/i>Millions of people in China’s financial hub were confined to their homes on Monday as the eastern half of Shanghai went into lockdown to curb the country’s biggest ongoing Covid-19 outbreak.<\/p>\n

The move, announced late Sunday, caused a run on grocery stores by residents who have become exasperated with authorities’ inability to snuff out the outbreak despite nearly three weeks of increasingly disruptive measures.<\/p>\n

Authorities are imposing a two-phase lockdown of the city of about 25 million people to carry out mass testing.<\/p>\n

The government had sought to avoid the hard lockdowns regularly deployed in other Chinese cities, opting instead for rolling localised lockdowns to keep Shanghai’s economy running.<\/p>\n

But Shanghai has in recent weeks become China’s Covid hotspot, and on Monday another record high was reported, with 3,500 new confirmed cases in the city.<\/p>\n

The area locked down on Monday is the sprawling eastern district known as Pudong, which includes the main international airport and glittering financial centre.<\/p>\n

The lockdown will last until Friday, then switch to the more populated western Puxi section, home to the historic Bund riverfront.<\/p>\n

The government said the steps were being taken to root out infections “as soon as possible”.<\/p>\n

The unpredictable neighbourhood-level measures employed in recent weeks have left many citizens frustrated with repeated, brief confinements at home.<\/p>\n

Some complained Monday that only several hours’ notice was given for the new, larger lockdown.<\/p>\n

“We really don’t understand Shanghai’s management and control measures. There has indeed been some inconsistency,” said a 59-year-old man who gave only his surname Cao as he queued to buy groceries.<\/p>\n

“After so much time, (the city) is not controlling the virus and the numbers are still going up.”<\/p>\n

The government has not specified any impact on Shanghai’s main international airport or its bustling seaport.<\/p>\n

– ‘Not optimistic’ –<\/p>\n

China largely kept the virus under control for the past two years through strict zero-tolerance measures including mass lockdowns of cities and provinces for even small numbers of cases.<\/p>\n

But Omicron has proven harder to stamp out.<\/p>\n

Shanghai’s sprawling eastern district known as Pudong was put under a virus lockdown as the metropolis has become China’s Covid hotspot \u00a9 AFP \/ Hector RETAMAL<\/b><\/p><\/div>\n

China has reported several thousand new daily cases for the past two weeks.<\/p>\n

Those numbers remain insignificant globally but are up sharply from fewer than 100 a day in February.<\/p>\n

Tens of millions of residents in affected areas across China have been subjected to citywide lockdowns in response.<\/p>\n

But as Shanghai has struggled, some cities have made progress.<\/p>\n

The southern tech manufacturing hub Shenzhen — which locked down earlier in the current outbreak — announced that normal business activity was resuming on Monday as new cases have dropped.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t think it will be so serious (in Shanghai),” said resident Guo Yunlong, 24.<\/p>\n

“Every single detailed aspect of our lives from clothing, food, living and commuting has been affected. I don’t feel optimistic, to be honest.”<\/p>\n

Some online posts complained of the impact on elderly Shanghai residents who may not know how to order supplies online.<\/p>\n

Other users accused Shanghai — which is envied by other cities for its wealth and cosmopolitan image — of putting its desire to maintain normality over health concerns.<\/p>\n

Chinese authorities have watched nervously as a deadly Hong Kong Omicron surge sparked panic buying and claimed a high toll of unvaccinated elderly before later surging in mainland China.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
