The good news, if there is any, is that the four COVID-19 community cases were in the city's outskirts, two in Minhang, one in Baoshan and one in Qingpu.
The bad news is that one of them, a recent returnee to Shanghai from other provinces, had been to both Haichang Ocean Park and the Shanghai Wild Animal Park in Pudong, two popular attractions – so capable of causing quite the infection chain.
Haichang Ocean Park has already announced the suspension of operations, along with its resort hotel.
Between them, the cases had also visited a gas station, bank, China Mobile outlet and convenience store, along with multiple restaurants, hotels and wet markets in Minhang, Xuhui, Baoshan and Qingpu districts.

Guangzhou districts implement 'Strict Control of Personnel Movement'
Yesterday, November 25, Guangzhou’s Health Commission dispelled rumors that the city would go into a 10-day lockdown.
Shortly afterward, large parts of the city's Panyu and Tianhe districts implemented what is being called ‘Strict Control of Personal Movement.’
Guangzhou's Baiyun District had already implemented similar measures.
During this time, residents have been advised that they should not leave their homes unless absolutely necessary, should avoid gathering in groups, while a negative nucleic acid test issued within 24 hours is needed for entry to most places.
Both districts have told residents to work from home.
The measures went into effect at midnight last night, and are set to last until midnight on November 30... for now.
Guangzhou reported 7,419 new cases of COVID-19 this morning, a decrease of 105 from yesterday’s 7,524.
