With Millions Still Under Lockdown, China Adds More Curbs Across Cities

News 18  

Several COVID-hit Chinese cities from the country’s east to west imposed fresh restrictions and lockdowns on their populations on Thursday to contain flare-ups that are again threatening to disrupt local economies. Reducing people’s unnecessary movement for a few days – a softer type of lockdown – as soon as dozens of new cases emerge is a key practice of China’s “dynamic COVID-zero” strategy. In China’s western region of Xinjiang, three cities in the Aksu area from Thursday allowed employees to leave their homes for work while restricting everyone else to necessary movements only. Mainland China reported 1,993 domestically transmitted new coronavirus cases for Aug. 10 – 614 symptomatic and 1,379 asymptomatic – the National Health Commission said on Thursday. China’s capital Beijing reported two local cases for the previous day, while financial hub Shanghai and southern technology hub Shenzhen reported zero new local infections.
