Shanghai to lift COVID-19 lockdown

Shanghai Authorities have begun dismantling fences around housing compounds and ripping Police tape off public squares and buildings as the City prepares to lift a two-month-long lockdown.

According to reports, the ruthlessly-enforced restrictions have caused despair among the City’s 25 million people and left many struggling to get food and emergency healthcare.

The report added that the restrictions also fuelled public anger and protests inside Shanghai and battered the City’s manufacturing and export-heavy economy, disrupting supply chains in China.
