Shanghai
lockdown: Whole communities relocated in anti-Covid drive.
The plan is to move people from their homes in
Pingwang to the neighbouring province of Zhejiang, where they will stay for at
least a week. Young children, the elderly and those with disabilities could be
excluded, according to the notice.
It said only those who tested negative could go - it's
not clear why people with negative tests are being moved. Officials are under
great pressure to cut the risk of transmission and reduce cases to zero.
It comes just days after authorities moved people out
of their homes and evacuated much of the population in another area of
Shanghai.
At least 1,000 people were forced to leave the small
town of Beicai and move to temporary accommodation so officials could disinfect
the area on the outskirts of the Pudong area in the east of the city.
An official notice issued to residents told them to
pack their belongings and leave their wardrobe doors open. They were also told
to leave open the front door of their home. Images on social media of people
queuing with packed suitcases at night-time showed the scale of the operation.
The notice from the town's Epidemic Prevention Office
also included this order: "You cannot bring your pets with you during this
evacuation, but we will arrange for them to be taken care of."
This week officials in the city have recorded 17
people who died after contracting Covid. Nearly all were elderly, unvaccinated
residents with underlying health problems.
