GLOBALink | Shanghai mobilizes resources to ensure supplies amid COVID-19 resurg

Some e-commerce storehouses and supermarkets in Shanghai have resumed business to meet residents' demands for daily necessities amid the COVID-19 resurgence.

The megacity is under temporary closed-off management to battle the Omicron variant.

It is establishing a white-list to restore the operation of the wholesale markets, distribution centers, e-commerce warehouses and other outlets that strictly implement epidemic prevention and control measures.

Couriers from non-epidemic-hit communities have been allowed to return to work.

On Saturday, Shanghai reported more than 1,000 new locally transmitted confirmed COVID-19 cases and nearly 23,940 local asymptomatic cases.
