After the outbreak of Corona in the city … Beijing examines millions and isolates thousands

Beijing / (Archyde.com)
Authorities in the Chinese capital, Beijing, scrambled Monday to contain an outbreak of COVID-19, deciding to conduct mandatory checks on millions and isolate thousands in targeted lockdowns.
And the authorities monitored 200 cases of Corona virus related to the case that returned to work when the disease control restrictions were eased in the city last week, which highlights the difficulty of China’s success in implementing the (zero Covid) policy while the rest of the world chooses to learn how to live with the virus.
The resurgence of Covid infections has renewed concerns about the world’s second largest economy. China is still trying to shake off the impact of a two-month shutdown in Shanghai, which has also damaged global supply chains.
Chaoyang District, Beijing’s most densely populated district and home to the bar where the latest outbreak is located, began a three-day campaign of mass testing on Monday among its nearly 3.5 million residents.
And the authorities monitored about ten thousand contacts of those who frequented the bar, and the residential buildings in which they lived were placed under closure procedures and postponed the resumption of studies in some schools there.
Witnesses said queues at some test sites extended more than 100 metres.
The authorities have linked nearly 200 cases of Covid-19 to bar-goers since June 9, describing the outbreak as “ferocious” and “explosive”, with those infected working or living in 14 of the city’s 16 neighborhoods.
Beijing recorded a total of 51 cases on Sunday, compared to 65 the previous day, consistent with a general decline in infections in the country. As for Shanghai, which completed a mass screening of its 25 million residents at the weekend after lifting restrictions at the beginning of this month, it recorded 37 cases, up from 29.
