Wuhan locks down 1 million residents in echo of pandemic’s start

Hindustan Times  

A district on the outskirts of Wuhan has been locked down, the first time the Chinese city that saw the world’s first Covid-19 lockdown has imposed such a measure since 2020, underscoring how far the country is from post-pandemic normalcy. Wuhan locks down 1 million residents in echo of pandemic’s start More than two years since the city was sealed off to contain what was then a mysterious pneumonia, almost 1 million residents of Wuhan’s Jiangxia district have been told to stay in their homes and not go out unless necessary. Life in the pandemic-scarred city of 11 million people had largely returned to normal since its initial lockdown in 2020 -- which set a precedent for how Chinese authorities would handle flare ups in other parts of the country -- with a small outbreak in April and a handful of cases in the past month. The flareup prompted an order for some of China’s biggest companies to operate within a “closed loop” system for seven days, raising concerns about global supply chain disruptions. In order to contain the virus situation in the city’s Baoshan district, which found cases among logistics workers, local transportation associations have proposed to operate warehouses under a closed-loop system.
