Shanghai will gradually restore its high, medium and low-risk areas designation from next month as part of normalized COVID-19 prevention and control amid the declining number of daily infections.

A local community, village or company will be rated as a high-risk area if at least 10 positive cases or two gathering outbreaks are reported within two weeks.

If less than 10 cases or one gathering outbreak are reported in the last two weeks, the place will become a medium-risk areas, according to Shanghai Health Commission.
