In Shanghai, China, where infection with the new coronavirus has spread, the number of infected people per day fell below the number of people infected the previous day for the first time in 11 days.

Measures have begun to ease restrictions on going out in areas where no infected person has been identified for a period of time, but authorities have called for refraining from going out unnecessarily and urgently in these areas as well, and have not relaxed their vigilance.

In Shanghai, 23,342 people infected with the new coronavirus were confirmed on the 11th, mainly asymptomatic people.



The number of infected people per day has decreased by more than 2,700 compared to the 10th, and it is the first time in 11 days since March 31st that the number of infected people has fallen below the previous day.



In Shanghai, measures to limit the range of outings to areas where no new infected persons have been confirmed in the last 14 days began on the 11th, and local media reported that residents who were allowed to go out were allowed to go out, such as food. I am telling you how to go shopping.



However, as the number of infected people per day continues to exceed 20,000, city officials said at a press conference on the 12th that even in areas where restrictions were relaxed, they refrained from going out unnecessarily and urgently. We have not relaxed our vigilance, such as calling for action on the premises.

Even in the areas subject to relaxation, there are actually restrictions on going out

On the other hand, according to NHK's interview, even in the areas where the restrictions are said to have been relaxed, there are actually some places where going out is severely restricted as before, and confusion continues.



The condominium where the cameraman of the NHK Shanghai branch office in the western part of Shanghai lives is included in the target area where the restrictions on going out will be relaxed because no new infected person has been confirmed in the last 14 days.



However, as of the morning of the 12th, the doorway of the condominium remains closed and it is still not allowed to even go out of the room.



In addition, the roads around the condominiums are still quiet, with few people as before, except for the occasional passage of cars and motorcycles that deliver supplies.
