CCTV News:Yesterday (April 7th), there were 824 confirmed cases in COVID-19 and 20,398 asymptomatic infections in Shanghai. This morning, Shanghai introduced at the epidemic prevention and control conference that Shanghai will continue to carry out antigen testing or nucleic acid testing throughout the city.

Wu Ganyu, First Inspector of Shanghai Municipal Health and Wellness Commission:The total number of newly confirmed cases and asymptomatic infected people reported by this city today exceeded 20,000. Recently, the number of positive infected people found through regional screening has been at a high level, suggesting that community transmission still occurs and presents clustering characteristics, and the situation of epidemic prevention and control is complex and severe. Today, we carry out antigen testing or nucleic acid testing in the whole city.

The press conference informed that since March 1, Shanghai has reported a total of 4393 confirmed cases. Among them, some are asymptomatic infected patients, and some have changed from light and ordinary to severe. At present, one case is severe and is being treated.

Up to now, four municipal-level centralized isolation and treatment places, such as Shanghai World Expo Exhibition Hall and Yangshan Special Protection Zone, have been put into use, which can provide about 38,000 beds. The National Convention and Exhibition Center is scheduled to deliver the isolated rescue site in batches from tomorrow, and it is estimated that it can provide 50,000 beds. In addition, 21,000 beds have been built and delivered in each district-level shelter, and nearly 20,000 beds are under construction and will be delivered one after another in the near future.
