The number of cases of covid-19 found outside quarantine in Shanghai has dropped to single digits, but the city's officials are still on edge
, many aspects of life in the city have returned to normal. The once-deserted freeways around China’s financial hub are again full of traffic. The white-collar workers who moved into their offices during April and May have at last returned home. The number of cases of covid-19 found outside quarantine has dropped to single digits. Just one was detected on June 13th.
This is what the new version of China’s “dynamic zero-covid” campaign looks like. Rolling “micro-lockdowns” and mass testing are meant to replace economically destructive citywide lockdowns. The strategy is supposed to be more targeted, finding and quarantining individual positive cases and their close contacts within hours. But calibration is proving difficult., hundreds of cases were recently traced to Heaven Supermarket, a bar in the city centre.
Local businesses such as restaurants have received little guidance from officials. Many are preparing for disruptions that could last months. They were already suffering. Tensions boiled over in Shanghai on June 13th, when hundreds of people protested. Most ran stalls at the city’s biggest wholesale market for clothes. After months of lost business, they chanted: “Return our rents.” The government has done little to help.
