China’s two largest cities are tightening some Covid measures again, just days after loosening them as the virus appeared under control. Shanghai, which emerged from a two-month lockdown early this month, said Thursday that seven of its 16 districts would conduct mass testing this weekend, according to state media. Those areas included financial and downtown districts. During the testing period, residents in affected areas will need to stay home until the testing is over, the city said in the comments section of an official release. It was not clear to what extent other restrictions on business would be applied during the testing.
