Shanghai Health Commission reported a total of 2 locally transmitted COVID-19 cases and 19 local asymptomatic cases this morning, Sunday, October 9.Of the21 new cases reported, 19 tested positive during central quarantine, while 2 tested positive during regular screening.Two community cases...The first case, locally transmitted, was a returnee to Shanghai from another province. The 37-year-old female was staying in Zhongxin Village, Chonggu Town in Qingpu District, and is reported to be showing light symptoms.
The second case, local asymptomatic, recently came to Shanghai from another province. The 35-year-old female was staying in Ruishi Hotel on Lanxi Lu in Putuo District.
As far as we can tell, the two cases did not show the same gusto for a good ol' knees up as yesterday's two visitors from Xinjiang, which – while displays a disappointing lack of joie de vivre – is good news for everybody else wishing to avoid a red code and quarantine.
