the city said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The lockdown on Shanghai&#8217;s 25 million residents was mostly lifted in early June, but the metropolis has struggled to return to normal as individual neighbourhoods have reimposed restrictions over new infections.<\/p>\n<p>Millions of people in the city were temporarily locked down again two weeks ago after the government ordered a fresh mass testing campaign.<\/p>\n<p>In Beijing, restrictions imposed in May were later eased as cases declined, but tightened again this month after a nightlife-linked infection cluster emerged.<\/p>\n<p>After days of mass testing and localised lockdowns, the &#8220;Heaven Supermarket infection chain&#8221;\u2014named after a popular bar visited by the patients\u2014has now been effectively blocked, Beijing authorities said last week.<\/p>\n<p>The city&#8217;s education bureau said Saturday that all elementary and middle school students could return to their classrooms for in-person schooling on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Beijing reported only two new local infections on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>However, China&#8217;s southern manufacturing powerhouse of Shenzhen said Saturday it would close wholesale markets, cinemas and gyms in a central district bordering Hong Kong for three days after COVID cases were discovered there.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese officials insist the zero-COVID policy is necessary to prevent a healthcare calamity, pointing to unevenly distributed medical resources and low vaccination rates among the elderly.<\/p>\n<p>But the strategy has hammered the world&#8217;s second-largest economy and heavy handed enforcement has triggered rare protests in the tightly controlled country.<\/p>\n<p>China&#8217;s international isolation has also prompted some foreign businesses and families with the financial means to make exit plans.\n                                                                                                                        <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                                                                        Beijing delays school reopenings after new COVID outbreak\n                                                                                    <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2022 AFP<\/p>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 Shanghai reports zero COVID cases for first time in months (2022, June 25)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 25 June 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-06-shanghai-covid-cases-months.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
