1. When will the 2022 Shanghai epidemic be removed from the asterisk?

This round of epidemic in Shanghai is expected to be cleared around March 20 or early April 2022. As of the afternoon of March 10, there are five medium-risk areas in Shanghai, namely Shiquan Community Cultural Activity Center, No. 33 Ningqiang Road, Shiquan Street, Putuo District, Yonghui Supermarket Huting North Road Store, Jiuliting Street, Songjiang District, No. 1, Lane 3705, Baoan Highway, Malu Town, Jiading District, No. 1200 Caoxi North Road, Xujiahui Street, Xuhui District, and No. 233 Henan North Road, Beizhan Street, Jing'an District. Before these areas in Shanghai are downgraded to low-risk areas, some residents' travel codes will always have asterisks, and the asterisks will only be completely removed after they are downgraded to low-risk areas. The following is an introduction to the epidemic situation in Shanghai:

1. The latest data on confirmed cases in Shanghai:

As of 24:00 on March 9, a total of 321 local infections have been reported in this round of epidemic in Shanghai. The infected people are distributed in Jiading, Minhang, Songjiang, Baoshan, Putuo, Xuhui, Pudong New Area, Fengxian, Huangpu, Jing'an, Qingpu, and Hongkou districts.

2.Where is the source of the Shanghai epidemic?

The outbreak in Shanghai was first discovered on March 1, with the cases located in Putuo District, and the coronavirus that infected the cases was the Omicron variant. The pathogen is different from the pathogen of previous local epidemics in Shanghai, and is different from the pathogen of imported cases from abroad in Shanghai; it is highly homologous to the pathogen of imported cases from abroad in some parts of the country.

3. Why are there so many asymptomatic infections in Shanghai?

First, the novel coronavirus has been mutating continuously since its inception, and the mutation is characterized by becoming more transmissible, but its pathogenicity is decreasing, and the proportion of mild and asymptomatic cases is increasing;

Second, with large-scale population vaccination, the proportion of severe cases is decreasing, while the proportion of mild or asymptomatic cases is increasing;

The third is that it is related to the infected object and the immunity of the specific individual, especially among some young people, who are more likely to be asymptomatic.

2. How many days will it take for Shanghai to be downgraded to low-risk in 2022?

It is estimated that it will take more than ten days for this round of epidemic in Shanghai to be reduced to low risk, but if the number of confirmed cases continues every day, the time to be reduced to low risk will be extended.

3. The latest news on the lifting of the Shanghai epidemic lockdown in 2022

At present, Shanghai has not announced the time for lifting the lockdown for this round of epidemic. Because the current epidemic situation is relatively complicated and has spread to several provinces and cities, in order to control the epidemic, closed management will continue to be implemented in some closed communities. The good news of lifting the epidemic lockdown can only be welcomed after the epidemic situation improves or the hidden dangers of the epidemic are completely eliminated.

In general, this round of epidemic in Shanghai in 2022 is expected to be removed from the asterisk around the end of March 2022, and the time when it will be downgraded to low risk will also depend on notifications and arrangements.
