CORONAVIRUS Shanghai neighbours scream in unison to release lockdown stress

A week into lockdown, people living in one of the largest residential areas of Shanghai have screamed in unison from their balconies. One resident said screaming helps ease the boredom of being locked indoors. Shanghai went into lockdown on March 28, 2022, to respond to the latest Covid-19 outbreak. The government has begun relaxing restrictions in some areas of the city, but millions of its residents remain uncertain as to when they’ll be free to roam.
