in China, the inhabitants of Shanghai can go out after two months of confinement

Wednesday 1^er June, after 61 days of strict confinement, the inhabitants of Shanghai (China) can finally leave their homes. “I didn’t think there would be so many of us, it’s weird to see so many people”, says a woman. The barriers, which blocked the streets and some house entrances, are removed. Residents were able to return to work, or to supermarkets, which are open again.

“It was difficult this quarantine, but at least I had my husband with me”, says a woman. In Shanghai, containment had been put in place on 1^er April, which angered locals. Due to the zero Covid policy, patients had been placed in isolation centers, which are now closed. Shanghainese must now present a PCR test within 72 hours to go to a public place or to work.
