2- Announcement of Pudong post-lockdown measures
The Shanghai Municipality yesterday announced the terms that will apply to Pudong and other districts that were locked down on March 28-31 (Pudong, Fengxian, Jinshan, Chongmin and several townships in Minhang and Songjiang).
· Depending on the results of the screening campaign, three different types of regimes are applied. These areas also apply in the event of new screenings:
1/ “confined area”（封控区）: Concerns residences (workplaces, premises) where positive cases are detected, as well as adjacent residences (following a map of the city in a non-public “grid”):
The buildings where positive cases live remain in strict confinement for 14 days (from March 28). The other buildings in the confined area are placed in strict confinement for 7 days (counted from March 28), followed by 7 days of “community health observation”. In practice, this second week is also home confinement according to the information provided by the municipality. In all cases, tests (PCR and antigenic) are carried out on a regular basis. Home deliveries are possible.
2/ “controlled area”（管控区）Concerns the rest of the neighborhoods where there are confined areas:
During 7 days of “community health observation” (counted from March 28), residents are not allowed to leave their residences and gatherings are prohibited. Residents are also asked to stay at home. PCR and antigen tests are performed. One person per household is authorized to go out each day to pick up parcel deliveries at the residence's drop-off point.
· "Prevention Zone" （防范区） The rest of the city (excluding Puxi): 7 days of health self-observation with PCR and antigen tests. Calling residents to limit themselves to essential travel. Travel is possible within districts, but authorities are restricting travel between districts, or across the Huangpu River. Restaurants are reopening for take-out sales only.
· In practice, at this stage, it seems that almost all neighborhoods are in a confined area or controlled area and therefore remain in some form of confinement.
· The metros partially resume their activity in Pudong, as well as the buses, which do not however serve the confined areas. Bus lines are limited to their route within the same district. Taxi and VTC services resume in the areas that were subject to confinement on March 28-31, but do not allow travel between districts.
The other partial containment measures for residences or neighborhoods remain in effect.
3- Reminder: confinement of Puxi
· Puxi districts are confined until Tuesday, April 5 at 3 a.m.
Shanghai City Hall has published a list of emergency contact numbers and food delivery platforms (link) that will operate during the lockdown, while noting that delivery times could be particularly long.
