On the morning of May 16, Shanghai held a press conference on the prevention and control of COVID-19 pandemic. Zong Ming, vice mayor of Shanghai, reported the recent prevention and control work.

Zong Ming, vice mayor of Shanghai, said that at present, 15 of the 16 districts in Shanghai have achieved social clearance, and the total number of people in the closed areas has dropped to less than 1 million. Starting from the 16th, we will focus on restoring the industrial chain and supply chain, and then gradually expand the scope of resumption of work and production. For non-productive enterprises, continue to advocate working from home.

Based on the analysis and judgment of experts, Shanghai has clarified the next step of prevention and control work, which is divided into "three stages":

The first stage: the stage of consolidating the achievements of the "Ten Actions" for clearing and tackling. From now until May 21, the focus will be on reducing new growth and preventing rebound, continuing to reduce the number of people in closed and controlled areas, orderly opening of prevention areas, limited movement, and effective control, and the city will maintain a low level of social activities.

The second stage: the transition stage to normalized prevention and control. From May 22 to May 31, the number of new infections in a single day was further reduced, the scope of closed and controlled areas were continuously narrowed until the closure was lifted, and the transformation of pandemic prevention and control to normalized classified management was accelerated.

The third stage: the stage of fully restoring the normal production and living order of the whole city. From June 1 to mid-late June, under the premise of strictly preventing the rebound of the pandemic and controllable risks, the normalized management of pandemic prevention and control will be fully implemented, and the normal production and living order in Shanghai will be fully restored.
