Shijiazhuang and Xingtai, in Hebei Province, China, where corona19 patients came out of a pile, demanded that all residents stay at home for the next 7 days.
The combined inhabitants of the two cities exceed 18 million.
There are 11 million people in Shijiazhuang, Chengdu, Hebei Province, and 7.4 million people in Xingtai.
Shijiazhuang City has stopped operating each subway line from the morning of the 9th local time amid worries that it will become the’second Wuhan’.
Shijiazhuang quarantine authorities said at a press conference the previous day that all residents had completed the nucleic acid test and that all residents should stay at home for the next week.
For effective quarantine, residents demanded that they do not move, do not hold meetings, and do not come out of the residential complex.
Shijiazhuang entered the city blockade on the evening of the 7th.
Singtai also implemented a blockade a day later.
Xingtai City also took measures to ensure that all residents stay at home for a week the same as Shijiazhuang the evening before.
Shinhwa news agency reported that “two cities with a large population pressed the’pause button’ at the same time.”
Hebei provincial deputy provincial director Xu Jianfei said all villages and complexes in Shijiazhuang and Xingtai Nangong cities are under closed management, and except in special circumstances, they can only enter and cannot leave.
Shinhwa news agency reported that Shijiazhuang, a metropolitan city with more than 10 million residents, was temporarily suspended.
China’s Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chun-lan visited sites such as the Xiaoguozhuang village in Shijiazhuang, where corona infections were concentrated, and urged that the virus spread immediately.
China is paying special attention to the proliferation of Hebei Province because the region surrounds the capital, Beijing.
In Hebei Province, 14 additional confirmed cases and 16 asymptomatic infections were reported during the past 8 days.
These are all from Shijiazhuang.
However, the number of infected people soared to the level of 120 people a day and then decreased for two consecutive days.
The number of infections in Shijiazhuang exceeded 300 in just a few days.
The previous day, the number of confirmed cases across China was 17, and three were found in Liaoning, except for 14 in Hebei.
