Shanghai residents should continue “staying at home” until all results of the city’s COVID-19 screening on Monday are released. Citizens are asked to continue following the current lockdown measures and stay in their homes except for medical and other emergency situations.

The city reported a record 322 locally transmitted COVID-19 cases and 19,660 asymptomatic infections on 6th April. The pandemic is still at its peak period and the situation is extremely severe.

Any new positive case will be transported and quarantined that day. Parents, regardless of whether they are positive for COVID-19, can stay with their infected children at makeshift hospitals.

Emergency medical channels have been opened, primarily for those with acute diseases, pregnant women, children and people requiring hemodialysis, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Though most public transportation has been suspended, vehicles used for COVID-19 prevention, emergency medical services, critical supplies, urban operations, personnel transfer and emergency response that have special passes released by local authorities are still allowed on local roads.
