Amid a spiraling outbreak of COVID cases in the area, Shanghai is reportedly set to lockdown millions of people amid efforts to perform mass Coronavirus testing.

Lockdowns will begin in the eastern half from Monday until Friday, officials said, followed by a similar lockdown of its western side beginning on 1 April.
