The Chinese authorities reimposed quarantine measures in the city of Anyang, which has a population of 5 million people, in a move to contain the new Omicron variant.
The central city in China is the third city whose residents are forced to stay in their homes after a similar measure was taken last month in the city of Xi’an, located in the northern part of the country.
Since last year, China has been pursuing a Zero Covid strategy, which is to do every possible move to limit as much as possible the emergence of new infections, which generally do not exceed a few dozen per day.
Southern Shenzhen, which borders Hong Kong, has also ordered a city-wide quarantine after a small number of infections were reported.
China is reporting 161 new infections on average each day, 3% of the peak, according to Reuters’ latest COVID Tracker, released this Tuesday.
As of the new Omicron variant, it surged in the northern Chinese city of Tianjin.
As of yesterday, there were 10 new local transmissions in Tianjin, pushing health officials to implement stricter measures to stop the spread of the virus.
