BEIJING (Bloomberg): China’s financial capital is bolstering its Covid-19 testing capacity as cases reappear in the community and residents start to move around more freely after the easing of most lockdown curbs.

Shanghai reported 16 new Covid infections for Thursday (June 2), seven of them outside government mandated quarantine -- the highest tally of so-called community cases since officials started to loosen restrictions last month after declaring an end to community spread.
