Wugang in Henan province announced a citywide lockdown starting July 11.
Wugang in Henan province announced a citywide lockdown starting July 11, making it the latest Chinese city to enact strict mobility curbs amid the country's ongoing Covid flare-up.
The approach was reinforced after Shanghai's initial sluggish response to its outbreak led to a crisis that required confining its 25 million residents to their homes for two months to contain the conflagration. Despite ever more extreme measures aimed at containing the virus - from testing an infant more than 70 times to locking down Shanghai Disneyland based on one infection - the evolving pathogen is proving harder than ever to wipe out.Case counts are rising in several regions, and a jump in infections near Shanghai caused some areas to lock down, despite numbers that are well below the city's spring peak.
Most of the infections in Anhui were in Si and Lingbi counties, which have been locked down as authorities carry out mass testing. Macau's 680,000 residents have been relatively sheltered from the virus. It has reported two deaths and fewer than 2,000 confirmed cases since the start of the pandemic in 2020, according to government data.
