Shanghai plans to start lifting months-long lockdown in June

As daily Covid-19 infection numbers continue to drop, Shanghai health authorities plan to start lifting the months-long lockdown, beginning June 1, 2022. The prolonged city wide lockdown since April 1 emptied the city’s streets and wreaked havoc on the global supply chain. Shanghai’s airports resumed limited domestic flights on May 16 and its metro has begun preparations for a resumption of service.
