More and more restrictions have been introduced in the Chinese capital since last week. Museums, parks, gyms and most entertainment venues have already been closed, students are studying remotely and even institutional employees have been advised not to go to work as much as possible. Most public places can only be visited by those who have taken a negative PCR test in the last 24 hours, so huge queues form at the test transfer points and laboratories, where, according to the bravest Chinese users of the social network Internet , the risk of infection is much higher than in a half-empty park. It has not yet come to the point of declaring quarantine in certain neighborhoods or city blocks, as was the case during the strongest outbreak of the pandemic, but if the situation does not change and the authorities do not change their policy, this is possible even in the near future, he writes ap. Quarantine has already been established in some buildings where the percentage of infected is relatively high.
Three people have died in Beijing since last weekend COVID-19 the sick. The number of newly discovered cases of infection rose from 621 people on Sunday to 1,438 people on Tuesday, writes AFP extension. Considering that the city has at least 22 million people, this is a drop in the ocean, but due to President Xi Jinping’s policies and orders, new restrictions have to be met. Residents of Guangzhou and Chongqing are in a much worse situation than in Beijing, as more than 14,000 new cases of the disease were recorded during the day. Although most of the infected people do not show any symptoms, quarantine has already been declared in some areas of these cities, but the workers have to spend the night at their workplace so as not to travel around the city unnecessarily.
