strictest movement restrictions Thursday, but that was two more than the previous day, when zero cases were reported.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese commercial hub in recent days has been tightening its lockdown to choke out the virus by the end of the month as part of its controversial \u201czero-COVID\u201d policy, which the head of the World Health Organization called \u201cnot sustainable\u201d this week, earning a rebuke from Beijing. <\/p>\n<p>The new cases were found in two of the city\u2019s 16 districts, Xuhui and Fengxian, that authorities said this week were among eight that had achieved \u201czero COVID\u201d status, having had no community cases for three consecutive days.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"
