Shenzhen lockdowns extended...
Yesterday, Shenzhen health authorities announced that the lockdown measures imposed on the districts of Futian, Longgang, Luohu, Yantian, Bao’an and Nanshan – originally set to end at midnight on Sunday, September 4 – will only be eased after they report three consecutive days without an infection.
Meanwhile, even those subdistricts that have not reported any cases of COVID-19 in the last three days are still prohibiting outside visitors.
KTVs, cinemas, gyms, pool and mahjong halls, internet cafes, bars, escape rooms, massage parlors, and swimming pools all remain closed, while schools and training centers will continue with online classes.

While 36 cases in Shenzhen may sound bad, that is down from 71 the day before, a decrease of almost 50%.
