In Shanghai, China, measures have begun on the 11th to ease restrictions on going out to curb the spread of the new coronavirus, targeting areas where no new infections have been confirmed for 14 days.
However, as the number of newly infected people reaches a record high every day, restrictions on going out are still continuing in many areas.
Shanghai city officials have continued to impose strict restrictions on going out in most parts of the city following the spread of the new corona, but have limited scope to areas where no new infections have been identified in the last 14 days. I started with measures to allow going out.
Of the 17,000 districts announced by the authorities on the 11th of the first day, the restrictions were relaxed in about 7,500 districts, which is about 40%. I'm telling you how to go out.
The relaxation of the restrictions on going out seems to be aimed at alleviating the dissatisfaction of citizens whose lives have been severely restricted while the Chinese government continues its "Zero Corona" policy to thoroughly curb the spread of infection.
However, on the 10th of this month, 26,087 infected people, mainly asymptomatic people, were confirmed in Shanghai, and the spread of the infection has not stopped, such as renewing the record high for 10 consecutive days.
Even in areas where restrictions have been relaxed, if even one infected person is confirmed, 14-day outing restrictions will be imposed again, and the impact on civilian life is likely to continue for the time being.
