SHANGHAI - Shanghai on Monday said three people had died from COVID-19, the first official announcement of deaths from an outbreak which has plunged the megacity into a weeks-long lockdown, sparking widespread anger and rare protests.
The eastern business hub posted 22,248 new domestic cases on Monday, according to the municipal health commission.
