The latest announcement on lifting of the Shanghai epidemic lockdown in 2022: Has the time been determined? Can it end in June?

Since March, the epidemic in Shanghai has been a concern for people across the country. Judging from the data, the daily increase in Shanghai has been declining rapidly in recent days, and Shanghai is also promoting the resumption of work and production of enterprises in an orderly manner. So, what is the latest announcement on the lifting of the lockdown in Shanghai in 2022? Is the time confirmed? Will it end in June?

1. The latest notice on lifting the lockdown in Shanghai in 2022: Has the time been determined?

The specific time for Shanghai to lift the lockdown is still uncertain, as the city has not yet achieved basic social zero. Generally speaking, the lockdown will be lifted about two weeks after the social zero is achieved. Because the incubation period of the new coronavirus is 7 to 14 days, if an area has no new confirmed or suspected cases for more than 14 days, control can be lifted. But it depends on the epidemic prevention and control situation, and the unblocking time will be subject to official notification.

At present, seven districts in Shanghai have basically achieved zero social contact. These seven districts are: Fengxian, Jinshan, Chongming, Qingpu, Songjiang, Putuo and Jiading.

2. Will the Shanghai epidemic end in June 2022?

The Shanghai epidemic in 2022 is likely to end in June. Currently, various districts in Shanghai are gradually achieving basic zero social contact.

III. Criteria for achieving zero and basically achieving zero social impact 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.

4. What is social zero-clearance?

Social zero is the basic premise and goal of dynamic zero. To achieve dynamic zero, we must first achieve social zero. The society is faced with people engaging in normal social activities and people in the control areas. All cases were found in the control areas, which is relatively low-risk. After all, it has been controlled and there is no route of transmission. The social situation is different and is uncontrollable. If one case occurs, it may lead to a large number of people being infected, which is extremely risky. Just like the current epidemic in Shanghai, the social situation has not been cleared before, resulting in the inability to control the epidemic in time and the outbreak was extremely rapid. After the social situation is cleared, the next step is to lift the lockdown.

In general, the epidemic situation in Shanghai is getting better day by day, and complete eradication is just around the corner!
