Shanghai residents leverage Excel skills, management savvy to navigate lockdown

Li Di, a senior executive with a global bank, knew he had to help when he was admitted to the Nanhui quarantine site in April, after testing positive for COVID, and was confronted by chaos. 'There were only 120 to 150 staff to take care of 10,000 patients. The staff literally had their hands full,' said Li. Li set up a team of more than a dozen volunteers to arrange meals, distribute various supplies and help elderly patients who were struggling with various quarantine centre requirements.
