Residents of Shanghai are struggling to get meat, rice and other food supplies under anti-coronavirus controls that confine most of its 25 million people in their homes.

The Associated PressA delivery man arranges his orders in a lockdown area in the Jingan district of western Shanghai on Monday. Residents of the city are struggling to get meat, rice and other food supplies while most of them are confined to their residences.

Shanghai highlights the soaring human and economic cost of China's "zero-COVID" strategy that aims to isolate every infected person. Officials say Shanghai, home of the world's busiest port and China's main stock exchange, has enough food. But a deputy mayor, Chen Tong, acknowledged Thursday getting it the "last 100 metres" to households is a challenge.

Another online grocer, Dingdong Maicai, said it shifted 500 employees in Shanghai from other posts to making deliveries.

COVID-19 outbreak in Shanghai called 'extremely grim' as lockdown extended | CBC NewsThe COVID-19 outbreak in China's largest metropolis of Shanghai remains 'extremely grim' amid an ongoing lockdown confining around 26 million people to their homes, a city official said Tuesday. Ban Chinese travellers. Enough is enough. Why do you even give them spot light. The whole reason it exists is because of China so screw them because they never cared when it was effecting us. Hope they have fun with it for months 2 Years and CBC doesn't know there is a lag period between infections and deaths?
