As of late 2022, Chengdu had recorded a significant number of COVID-19 cases, reflecting its position as a major urban hub during various outbreaks. According to data from November 21, 2022, the city had a cumulative total of 5,194 confirmed cases, which included 925 active cases, 1,940 recoveries, and 4 deaths. Earlier reports from April 2020 indicated that the city had managed to keep its confirmed count relatively low at 166 cases during the initial phase of the pandemic. However, the situation changed significantly in September 2022, when a major outbreak led to the lockdown of the city's 21 million residents after approximately 1,000 new cases were reported. While comprehensive, up-to-the-minute totals for the years following 2022 are not explicitly detailed in the provided records, the data underscores the city's fluctuations between periods of stability and intense outbreaks under China's historical zero-COVID policy.
