Shanghai, Tianjin and Beihai are some of the major cities in China that have ordered repeated mass testing or extended lockdowns on residents as fresh Covid-19 outbreaks emerge.
Shanghai, which had only started easing its Spring lockdown in June, has planned mass testing across various districts and areas, such as Xuhui, Jingan and Huangpu, where new infections have surfaced.
Following rounds of mass testing in recent months, Tianjin will again put more than 12 million residents under new Covid tests after two local infections were reported.
Beijing shuttered a residential compound on July 18 to investigate two suspected infections.
