Quarantine site blamed for COVID-19 outbreak in Shanghai
Shanghai's Huating hotel is linked to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.
A quarantine site has been blamed for the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 in Shanghai, the city's information office said today.
Clear epidemiological links have been discovered among cases in Songjiang, Jiading, Minhang, Huangpu, Xuhui and Baoshan districts as well as the Pudong New Area.
Gene sequencing analysis and epidemiological investigation have shown the source of the infections to be imported cases. Authorities said the virus started spreading from Huating Hotel & Towers in Xujiahui where inbound travelers were quarantined.
Meanwhile, the production and supply of pandemic prevention equipment remains stable as more people are placed under medical observation or temporary quarantine, the Shanghai Commission of Economy and Informatization said today.
Manufacturers haven't seen a sharp increase in demand for these supplies, the commission said.
