SHANGHAI: China said on Monday that just three people have died from Covid-19 in Shanghai since a gruelling lockdown began last month, despite recording hundreds of thousands of cases of the fast-spreading Omicron variant in the eastern megacity.Authorities said the first deaths from China's biggest outbreak since the virus wave in Wuhan over two years ago were three people aged 89 to 91, all of whom had underlying health issues and had not received Covid vaccines.

China last reported new Covid-19 deaths on March 19 — two people in the northeastern rustbelt province of Jilin — the first such acknowledged deaths in more than a year.​​​​​​​Political playChina's ruling Communist Party has touted its hardline pandemic approach as proof that it places human life above material concerns — unlike many Western democracies, which it argues have sacrificed lives by failing to stop the virus.
