China began locking down most of its largest city of Shanghai on Monday as a coronavirus outbreak continues to surge.
Already, many communities within the city of 26 million have been locked down, with their residents required to submit to multiple tests for COVID-19. And Shanghai's Disney theme park is among the businesses that closed earlier.
China has reported more than 56,000 infections nationwide this month, with a surge in the northeastern province of Jilin accounting for most of them.
