SHANGHAI (Bloomberg): Shanghai vowed to step up enforcement of lockdown measures to stamp out community spread in the country’s worst virus outbreak, as the city reported 11 Covid-19 deaths on Thursday (April 21) -- its highest one-day toll so far.
Disappointing expectations that the outbreak had peaked and restrictions would be gradually eased, the municipal government said it would adopt nine actions from Friday to achieve the goal of "no community spread,” a milestone that’s eluded the city despite weeks of lockdown.
