In Shanghai, official data showed that 39 deaths have been reported this Sunday which has been the highest record of total deaths ever since the lockdown for a week-longs started. On the other hand, Beijing which is also the capital of China is being warned of the ‘grim’ situation considering the spread of the virus.
