Footage from May 30 shows fireworks being set off in the streets.

Shanghai's government announced the lockdown that started in late March will be lifted step by step from midnight on June 1.

During the two-month lockdown to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, the 25 million people in the city have been under strict stay-at-home rules that caused some public anger.

So far the public news reports showed that there have been roughly 600,000 people tested positive during this outbreak of COVID-19.

Shanghai will resume access to residential communities, public transport operations and motor vehicles. Shanghai residents lit firecrackers and fireworks to celebrate the good news.
