Shanghai Lockdown Shanghai: Scenes in China's Shanghai are becoming more chaotic with the passage of time as videos have emerged on social media where clashes between police and people being forced out of their homes could be seen.
Shanghai has been following a strict lockdown for the past several weeks now amid rising COVID-19 cases.
Millions are confined to their homes as Shanghai battles a fresh outbreak of the virus. Anyone who tests positive is placed in quarantine, BBC reported.
But with more than 20,000 new cases a day, authorities are struggling to find enough space, reported the British media.
Residents of the city have complained about lack of food supplies and other troubles faced by them due to COVID-19 restrictions.
People have to order food and water and wait for government drop-offs of vegetables, meat and eggs, and analysts say many are running low on supplies, BBC reported.
The lockdown extension has overwhelmed delivery services, grocery shop websites and even the distribution of government supplies.
