China began locking down most of its largest city of Shanghai on Monday as a coronaviruses outbreak surged and questions about the economic toll of the nation. The Pudong financial district and nearby areas will be locked down from early Monday to Friday as mass testing gets underway.

Residents will be required to stay home and deliveries will be left at checkpoint to make sure there is no contact with the outside world. Public transport will be suspended and offices will be closed.

Extreme measures are seen as worsening difficulties striking employment, consumption and even global supply chains in China.
