Beijing, Apr 9 (EFE).- The eastern Chinese metropolis of Shanghai is planning a new round of testing for all its residents before easing the lockdown ...

“We have detected community transmission of the coronavirus in some areas and it is possible that it has spread. “We will put in place policies that will vary according to the area based on the test results,” the vice mayor said at a press conference, according to local media.

Now the hospital is asking the families to sign a form to cremate the deceased. “We need to move forward faster and harder to provide strong support for the elimination of cases in society.” His last contact was on March 28 with a nursing assistant who called to warn there were positive cases and they could no longer take care of his father. Shen had lived on and off in the hospital for three years after her stroke. The outbreak spilled over to at least 71 other cities, according to a notice posted by Guangxi province in southern China, and pressure grew for harsher measures. The U.S. guidelines for asymptomatic cases, as in the U.K., are that individuals isolate at home for five days. The Shanghai government did not respond to a faxed request for comment. A family member said they have been calling the hospital non-stop to find out the circumstances of Shen's death, but have not gotten a clear answer. Shanghai authorities have reported no deaths from this outbreak, but questions have been raised about the reliability of the data. Her last nursing assistant had been quarantined for being a close contact of a positive case, the relative said, speaking on condition of anonymity out of fear of retribution. All they know is her doctor and nurses had not been there to care for Shen, who was partially paralyzed after a stroke. With a focus on forcing positive cases and close contacts into designated collective quarantine facilities, the costs of zero-COVID may be outweighing the risk of getting sick.
