China’s Covid caseload is easing, though the threat of lockdowns remains as more infections are found in key cities and the country continues to have zero tolerance for any outbreaks. 

There were 1,016 cases nationally yesterday, down from 1,227 a day earlier. Infections in Shanghai, which remains the epicenter of the outbreak, fell to 719 from 855. No infections were found outside of government quarantine in the financial hub for a fifth straight day. Sichuan province in the southwest reported 149 cases on Wednesday, down from 201. 

Cases crept up in Beijing, however, with 64 local infections through Thursday afternoon, compared with 49 on Wednesday. The capital has locked down some areas of the Fengtai district for seven days and is starting three rounds of mass testing across four districts as authorities race to stamp out the virus.
