The above factors are likely to have a continuous impact on the Chinese economy.

The police said that the policy of close contact at the same level starts today (7 May), and the quarantine time is 5+5, and explained that it is 5 days of quarantine + 5 days of community monitoring and observation (home isolation).

The police also warned, "You must obey the overall situation of epidemic prevention. If you don't do it, you will be at your own risk. If you don't cooperate, forced transfer will be used." Maintain order.

Including the control area, nucleic acid sampling once a day; control area: 3-day nucleic acid + 4-day antigen combination screening; prevention area: 1-day nucleic acid + 6-day antigen combination screening.

Mr. Hu from the Pudong Prevention Zone told The Epoch Times that in the community where he lives the last day of the blockade is today, "Tomorrow should be unblocked, and the prevention zone will be changed. But he changed another term, called silence, It's like saying three or four days longer."

He also said that the extended period is the same as staying at home in the closed control area, and it is estimated that it will no longer be able to be closed. "Because there are many older people in our community, the whole community has not been positive for half a month. It should be said that it is unlikely that these people will be locked in the building and will not be released. This is impossible."

Some residents in Shanghai who were sent to the quarantine point were asked by the community to hand over their keys before leaving their homes, so that "Dabai" could enter the house to disinfect them. When they came home from the quarantine point or the cabin, they found that there were a lot less items in their homes, even the cash was gone, and all the food in the refrigerator was thrown away. Many residents called the police.
