Former Hong Kong actress Gigi Lai quarantined in Shanghai for over a month
SHANGHAI - Former Hong Kong actress Gigi Lai assured her fans on social media that she is doing fine even though she has been quarantined in Shanghai for more than a month.
Lai, 50, flew there with her family on March 17, with reports saying that she was slated to take part in the third season of Chinese reality show Sisters Who Make Waves.
Shanghai was then locked down as the Chinese city stepped up efforts to bring community transmissions of Covid-19 down to zero.
In a social media post on Sunday (April 17), Lai thanked friends who have called her and are concerned about her and her family.
"We are okay and have enough food and supplies," she said, possibly referring to media reports that some residents in Shanghai are struggling to secure food and other supplies due to the lockdown.
Lai said being quarantined more than 30 days was initially something she could not imagine, but there have been unexpected gains for her and her family, as they get to spend more time together.
