China’s financial capital warned of a Covid-19 resurgence, bolstering testing capacity as cases reappear in the community and residents start to move around more freely after the easing of most lockdown curbs.
Shanghai reported seven new Covid infections outside of government-mandated quarantine sites for Thursday -- the highest tally of so-called community cases since authorities started to loosen restrictions last month after declaring an end to community spread. There were another three cases outside isolation on Friday.
