Abstract

Most of the cases were in Pudong New Area ï¼35.47%ï¼ï¼ Minhang District ï¼10.18%ï¼ and Huangpu District ï¼9.27%ï¼. The cumulative infection rate was 8.78% in Huangpu Districtï¼ which was the highest among all the districts. With the progress of the pandemicï¼ the prevention and control measures were strengthened from a âprecise prevention and controlâ strategy to âblock and gridâ screeningï¼ and then upgraded to city-wide lockdown. All daily new infections were identified from the quarantined population on April 29ï¼ 2022ï¼ reaching the goal of âclearance of community transmissionâ.ConclusionThe cumulative infections in Shanghai exceeded any previous epidemics in mainland China. Given the enhanced transmissibility and vaccine-induced immune escape of the Omicron variantï¼ timely and strong public health measures are needed to suppress the pandemic under the general policy of "Dynamic zero-COVID".
