Shanghai said three people had died from Covid-19, the first official announcement of deaths from an outbreak which has plunged the city into a weeks-long lockdown, sparking widespread anger and rare protests.

Since March, a patchwork of restrictions has kept most of the city's 25 million residents confined to their homes or compounds, with daily caseloads regularly edging over 25,000.

City officials today revealed the first deaths - all elderly people with underlying conditions. They "deteriorated into severe cases after going into hospital, and died after all efforts to revive them proved ineffective," the city said on an official social media account.

The statement said two of the dead were women aged 89 and 91, while the third was a 91-year-old man. The municipal health commission confirmed the deaths.
