01 COVID Recap | Notice of reserving epidemic prevention supplies?

By: David A.Howard

On the morning of November 30th, the Shanghai Health Commission reported 11 local COVID-19 case, 176 local asymptomatic cases, and 48 imported cases were detected, including 39 asymptomatic cases.

Shanghai Disney & The Pearl TV Tower Closed…

Another day, another closure. With COVID cases remaining at an elevated level, expect to continue to see a variety of locations temporarily closed due to epidemic prevention and control requirements.

The Happiest Place on Earth aka Disney has been hit hard over the last few years. It seems like they’re just stuck in a neverending cycle of opening and closing. You guessed it – they’re closed again with no word on a reopening date.

The Pearl TV Tower is also closing down for the time being. Anyone who purchased tickets online through the official and cooperative providers can apply for a refund through the original ticket purchase platform. No word on a reopening date here either.

With COVID sweeping through the city, it’s probably not a bad idea to get comfy at home and hunker down to weather the storm. A trip to touristy destinations can wait until things calm down.

Districts have been notified to reserve a minimum of 60 days’ worth of epidemic prevention supplies.

Shanghai has also stepped up stockpiling of epidemic prevention supplies. On November 29th, the Health Commission of Huangpu District issued a notice requiring all units under the Commission to stockpile supplies based on the recent development and trend of the ongoing COVID public health emergency.

48-hour negative test for tourist spots

Buckle up. Here we go again. China has seen multiple new records for daily COVID cases recently and the count is also on the rise in Shanghai.

As the case count climbs, tourist spots and cultural areas now require a 48-hour negative nucleic acid test for entrance. Pending test results and on-the-spot rapid antigen tests are no longer accepted. These new regulations apply to the following areas:

·Art Galleries

·Museums

·Libraries

·A-Level Tourist Attarctions

·Performance and Entertainment Venues

·Internet Bars

·Restaurants & bars

·Shopping complexes

·Department stores

·Supermarkets

·Wet markets

·Hair & beauty salons

·Baths houses

·Massages parlors

At Least The Testing is Still Free

One good thing though, free PCR testing in Shanghai has been extended through the end of the year. We still gotta take ’em, but at least we don’t have to pay for ’em – yet.

Like always, rules and regulations will be adjusted according to the ever-changing nature of the pandemic.

New Rules for Returnees to Shanghai

In order to further strengthen the health management of arrivals to Shanghai and better protect the overall safety and health of the general public, the Office of the Municipal Epidemic Prevention and Control Work Leading Group issued new measures. The details are as follows:

1. For all those who arrive in Shanghai with a green code, the “Suishen Code” and “Venue Code” and other display interfaces will display a reminder that this person has recently arrived in Shanghai within the last 5 days.

2. People who arrive to Shanghai within the prior 5 days are not allowed to enter catering services (including bars), shopping centers (including department stores), supermarkets, vegetable markets, beauty salons, (foot) baths, indoor fitness centres, singing and dancing venues, and other public places such as entertainment, entertainment halls, Internet cafes, escape rooms, gaming halls, etc.

3. For all people who come to Shanghai, in addition to the requirements of “arrival inspection” and “three-day inspection” and other requirements, a nucleic acid test will be carried out on the fifth day. If the nucleic acid test result is negative, they will receive an ” uncheck reminder on the display page of the “Suishen Code” and “Site Code”.

4. The above measures will be implemented starting from midnight on November 24, 2022. Follow-up dynamic adjustments will be made according to the epidemic situation and prevention and control requirements.

As always, stay safe!

Medical Support 助医

In rural provinces, many children in high mountainous areas have been born with congenital heart disease due to possible hypoxia during the mother’s pregnancy. Medical Support aims to raise funds in order to conduct regular screenings and health education for local residents in these rural areas and also bring children to Shanghai for timely surgeries so they can grow healthily.

在偏远的高山地区，很多孩子因妈妈们怀孕时可能出现短暂性缺氧而导致出生后患有先天性心脏病。助医旨在为这些地区的当地居民开展常规的定期先心病筛查和科普教育，甚至是把这些需要做手术的孩子们带到上海，为他们做手术，让他们可以有一个健康的生活。

Disability Support 助残

There are currently over 25,000 people suffering from disabilities in Changning and beyond Shanghai; Sunshine House of the Hongqiao Community is building a disabled-friendly facility to help individuals with various types of disabilities overcome hardships in employment, rehabilitation, and education. By raising funds for this initiative, we hope to bring convenience and allow them to experience better livelihoods as they integrate and build greater confidence in life.

目前，在长宁及上海以外地区有超过2万5千个持证残疾人。虹桥社区阳光之家正在建设残疾人友好设施，帮助各类残疾人克服就业、康复和教育方面的困难。通过为这项计划筹集资金，我们希望为他们的生活带来便利，帮助他们融入生活并重拾对生活的信心，经历更好的生活。

Education Support 助学

Education Support on the other hand is seeing the importance of nurturing positive characters, a healthy mentality and encouraging character development for both Children 5-12 years old, and opening the horizon of Youth 13-18 years old to enter into service-learning and community services through Character Education Programs. We wish to raise funds to serve those volunteer families to carry on the Spirit of Volunteerism and Character First to their children.

助学是看到品格教育项目在培育5-12岁的儿童和13-18岁的青少年积极的品格，健康的身心，并鼓励品格发展及社会工作实践的重要性。我们希望筹集到的善款能够帮助志愿者家庭，将志愿品格传承给他们的孩子。

On the night as we gather to raise funds through charity auction, we will also have fun engagements and exciting performances waiting for you to join and contribute to the causes.

当晚，当我们聚集在一起除了会通过慈善义拍筹集善款，还将会有有趣的迎宾活动和精彩的表演，期待有您的加入，共同为慈善贡献。
