1. When will Shanghai be unsealed in 2022?

According to Shanghai's current epidemic prevention and control situation, it is expected that the lockdown can be lifted in late May. The lifting of the lockdown will be based on the results of nucleic acid screening, review, and comprehensive assessment by relevant departments. The specific details will be subject to official notification. The following are the conditions for lifting the blockade of Shanghai communities:

1. According to the Shanghai Municipal Disease Control and Prevention Department, if all test results within the street and town are negative, the key areas will be unsealed.

2. If there is a positive test result within the street or town, the community where the positive infected person is located will be sealed off after review, and after an interval of 24 hours, all residents in the community will be sampled for nucleic acid again. The rest of the town and street areas have been unsealed.

3. If there is a positive test result in the community, after review, the building where the positive infected person is located will be sealed off. After an interval of 24 hours, all residents in the building will be sampled for nucleic acid again, and normalized prevention and control measures will be implemented for relevant personnel and places in accordance with the relevant prevention and control regulations of this city.

Currently, there are six districts in Shanghai that meet the standards for basically clearing the social epidemic, namely Fengxian, Jinshan, Chongming, Qingpu, Songjiang and Putuo. In addition, due to its large area and other reasons, Pudong New Area will be divided into streets and towns, and corresponding differentiated prevention and control measures will be implemented. At present, five towns in Pudong New Area, including Xuanqiao, Nicheng, Datuan, Wanxiang and Laogang, have met the standards for basically clearing the social situation.

Standards for zero and basically zero social contact in Shanghai:

1. If the proportion of new cases in a single day to the total population of the area is less than one in 100,000 for three consecutive days, it can be considered that the social situation has been basically cleared;

2. If the number of new cases is zero for three consecutive days, social clearance will be achieved.

3. After this round of epidemic is eradicated in society, the entire city of Shanghai will enter a stage of normalized prevention and control.

In general, the social situation in the six districts of Shanghai has been basically cleared, this round of epidemic prevention and control has achieved phased results, and a full lifting of the lockdown is just around the corner.
