Another metropolis cordoned off
Around 50 million people are currently not allowed to leave Wuhan and the surrounding cities. For the first time since the outbreak of the corona virus, a metropolis outside the severely affected province of Hubei, in which Wuhan is located, has been decommissioned: Around nine million residents of the city of Wenzhou are not allowed to leave the city for the time being. Wenzhou is located more than 800 kilometers east of the place of origin of the Wuhan epidemic. (Noo / EUC)
