Several cities in China add COVID curbs as millions still in lockdown COVID19
Reducing people’s unnecessary movement for a few days – a softer type of lockdown – as soon as dozens of new cases emerge is a key practice of China’s “dynamic COVID-zero” strategy. The aim is to avoid turning efforts to halt an outbreak into the extended nightmares seen in Shanghai and Wuhan.
The eastern export and manufacturing hub Yiwu said on Thursday it would enter three days of “silent management,” with most of its residents banned from leaving designated areas and some confined to their homes. In China’s western region of Xinjiang, three cities in the Aksu area from Thursday allowed employees to leave their homes for work while restricting everyone else to necessary movements only. It is not clear when the measures will be lifted.
Clusters in the tourism hotspots Hainan and Tibet continued to expand, with affected cities under lockdowns.
