Covid, 3 dead in Shanghai: first time since the lockdown in March

Three unvaccinated seniors, aged between 89 and 91, died in Shanghai from complications attributable to the coronavirus. This is the first time this has happened since the Chinese authorities imposed a new lockdown in March. 38 percent of Shanghai residents over 60 are fully vaccinated against Covid-19. Now the Shanghai authorities plan to conduct a series of swabs en masse and to extend the lockdown by at least another week.
