Covid: Shanghai loosens restrictions after long lockdown

After two months of heavy restrictions that have limited commercial activities and locked down residents, Shanghai authorities said today they will lift further restrictions to bring the Covid-affected city back to normal. In late March, the city of 25 million was placed under strict zone lockdown after a variant of Omicron had spread. After gradually loosening some rules in recent weeks, officials today said residents living in areas deemed low-risk will be able to move freely around the city. The easing of restrictions will apply to about 22 million people, Deputy Mayor Zong Ming told reporters.
