The daily tally of Covid-19 cases in Shanghai, which is at the centre of China's epidemic, has fallen slightly, authorities said today, as the city's lockdown threatened to exact a heavier toll on the world's second-biggest economy.

China's automakers may have to suspend production next month if suppliers in Shanghai and surrounding areas can't resume work, the chief executive officer of electric-car maker Xpeng said, while airlines and the property sector are also feeling the pain.

Shanghai, which is battling China's worst Covid-19 outbreak since the virus emerged in the city of Wuhan in late 2019,reported 23,000 Covid cases today, down from more than 27,000 yesterday.

However, the number of symptomatic cases in that tally edged up to a record 3,200, from the 2,573 reported a day earlier. Officials releasing the data did not comment on the reason for the overall fall in the city, which has put most of its 25 million residents into lockdown.
