 China's financial hub Shanghai reported over 27,000 coronavirus cases on Thursday. A new high, and day after President Xi Jinping said that the country must continue with its street dynamic COVID clearance policy and pandemic control measures. Shanghai has battling China's worst COVID-19 outbreak since the virus first emerged in Wuhan in late 2019 with its 25 million residents remaining largely under lockdown through restrictions where door restrictions were partially eased in some areas this week. Shanghai residents have taken to social media to vent frustration over the difficulties of getting enough food and China's policy that requires anyone testing positive symptomatic or not to be centrally quarantined where many people have complained about poor conditions.
