After being dragged into the closed COVID-19 area for more than six weeks, Shanghai on Monday finally saw a glimmer of hope as the municipal government resumed operations and production and set itself the goal of living a normal life in June. How is it in Shanghai as the city takes the first step back to normalcy?Many Shanghai residents who reached out to the Global Times on Monday said they were allowed to leave their conferences after receiving permission from government officials, but only for some time and on nearby streets. Many shops and supermarkets are slowly reopening, but the city is much quieter than before.
Shanghai’s daily statistics of new COVID-19
As Shanghai‘s daily statistics of new COVID-19 cases dropped to 1,000 1,000 1,000 for the first time, with 69 confirmed cases and 869 patients recorded on Sunday, Deputy Mayor Zong Ming, speaking at a daily news conference on Monday, provided a clear plan of times. . return to normal in June. Zong said 15 of the city’s 16 districts had prevented the spread of the virus outside isolated areas. The city also allowed taxis and private vehicles to travel on the roads in certain areas.

It is expected that the normal production and order of life of the entire city will be fully restored between June 1 and mid or late June under the pretext of strictly preventing the outbreak and risk management, Zong told a news conference. . An employee from one of the Shanghai underground companies told the Global Times on condition of anonymity that the subway line had been tested in recent days to prevent malfunctioning equipment after a long period of use.
Those living in new crime-free communities over the past two weeks can leave their conferences, on the basis that their community is safe, and their country is also safe, meaning there are no new cases yet, in Shanghai. a government official told the Global Times. A Chen resident said his local community in Sunniang district had told residents to apply for a permit from community workers before leaving the house. “All families are allowed to send one person only four hours a day,” Chen told the Global Times on Monday. He noted that in the last days there was a long line at the only shop open in the area, but “today I did not see the line, which means it usually turns.
Some residents say their communities began issuing permits to leave on Monday. The first place most people go to is a supermarket. A resident of Chen, who went out to see a dentist on Monday, noted that few pedestrians were seen on the streets, and many roads were closed. Many stores are still closed, Chen said, noting that those open to businesses use small windows to sell.The owner of a fruit shop in Huangpu district said he has not started a business. “My district has not yet vaccinated against the disease, which is why shops are open … It is very good that my shop will be open in ten days,” he said on Monday. But for someone who has been home for 57 days, even a small step to normalcy is better than nothing at all, says Li Cuihua, a Shanghai resident.
A Jingan resident in Lin district said two of his neighbors left Shanghai on Sunday for their destinations. “Once your Shanghai community service has agreed to release you, and the community you are going to have agreed to be with you, you are ready to go,” said Lin.
At Monday’s conference, Zong also said Shanghai would increase the number of trains to other cities from Monday, and would resume domestic flights over time, following the suspension of several trains and flights back to Shanghai during the closure. Lu Hongzhou, head of Shenzhen Third People’s Hospital, said the drop in cases in Shanghai showed that the city had made progress with COVID-19. He also believed that the city should be vigilant when returning to normal as there was still a risk of riots.
To prevent duplication, Lu suggested that residents demonstrate a valid nucleic acid test 24 or 48 hours before entering public places. A similar practice was carried out by Beijing, another major city fighting coronavirus. Daily testing of nucleic acids in high-risk industries, such as doctors and midwives, should be emphasized, Lu said. Wu Jinglei, director of the Shanghai Health Commission, told a news conference on Monday that with Shanghai hospitals slowly opening up, there was a risk of recurrence. Wu needed medical facilities to prevent hospital infections, and to check medical personnel at facilities such as temporary hospitals and flu departments, on a daily basis.Shanghai is fully prepared and can achieve the goal based on the current hard-earned results, Lu said, noting that a formal resume will help boost residents’ self-esteem and reduce their anxiety.
