infected patients into strict quarantine.The unrelenting policy has caused fatigue and resentment among swathes of the population as the

exceed the 29,390 infections recorded in mid-April when megacity Shanghai was under lockdown, with residents struggling to buy food and
access medical care.The post China&s daily COVID-19 cases hit record high: Authorities first appeared on Ariana News.
