Research on Influence of Covid Prevention Measures on Chinas Economic

Abstract

Since 2020, governments around the world have taken different measures to prevent and control the new crown pneumonia epidemic, which has curbed the spread of the epidemic to a certain extent. However, the epidemic prevention and control measures have restricted people's travel and consumption, which has had a strong impact on the economic development of various countries. In March 2022, the new crown pneumonia epidemic broke out in Shanghai. In order to control the epidemic, the Chinese government ordered a blockade of Shanghai and restricted the normal flow of people. At the same time, the economy was also severely affected. This paper analyzes the negative impact of the 2022 COVID-19 prevention and control measures (taking Shanghai as an example), including lockdown and regular polymerase chain reaction tests, on the Chinese economy through qualitative analysis and review. These measures have lowered the growth rate of the economy to a certain extent.
