China's commercial hub of Shanghai ground to halt on Friday after the government locked down most of the city's 26 million residents to stop the spread of COVID-19, even as official numbers put local cases falling for the second day in a row.
China's outbreak is small by global standards. But Shanghai, now accounting for three out of every four local asymptomatic cases across the country, has emerged as a test bed for the national government's handling of COVID - a "dynamic clearance" approach which aims to test for, trace and centrally quarantine all positive case.
Shanghai city authorities didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the scepticism over case numbers.
