In the case of Corona, the situation here has become worse than in Wuhan.

The administration has started large-scale testing to curb the spread of corona virus, but the situation is not taking its name under control.
Total cases in Shanghai cross 94,000
A strict lockdown has been implemented in Shanghai, a city with a population of 26 million. Despite this, the number of corona infected patients is increasing day by day.
