0:46Now PlayingShanghai posted a new daily record for Covid-19 cases, as much of the city remains under some kind of movement restrictions with ongoing disruptions to food and manufacturing supply chains. China has raced to build makeshift hospitals to nail the Covid-19 outbreak.
The city of 25 million saw 26,330 new infections on Tuesday, China Central Television said early Wednesday. That’s up from the 23,342 reported for Monday, and the previous all-time high of 26,087 on Sunday, as officials struggle to tame what has become China’s most significant virus crisis since the pandemic began.
While curbs have been eased in some areas, the majority of the city remains under a tight lockdown that bars even outside exercise or shopping for essential items. Frustration is palpable, with food shortages continuing and access to non-Covid medical care impacted. Some residents have been confined to their apartment blocks for weeks, long before the official lockdown began on March 28 with an initial shutdown of the eastern half of the city. It was extended to all of Shanghai a few days later.
