FollowAmid the fresh wave of Covid-19 in China, the government has levied strict lockdown in several cities including Shanghai which has turned out to be the centre for spread of Covid-19 cases since the outbreak of the pandemic in Wuhan in 2020. According to the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, the omicron variant has surged through the population.Â
In order to stop the spread of the virus, stringent restrictions have been levied in Shanghai which has resulted in getting food supplies difficult in the city, further leading to heavy shortages. The situation is so grim that several people have claimed they had to do without food or basic necessities during these challenging times.
