BEIJING - A northeastern city of 10 million people, grappling with what is now China’s biggest coronavirus outbreak, further restricted inbound traffic on Wednesday to contain the spread of the highly contagious disease.
Heilongjiang has been in the forefront of China’s latest efforts to identify infected citizens arriving from Russia, with which it shares a border, to curb the spread of the virus. “I’m not taking my daughter or parents outside anymore. If we need any food or vegetables, we just let my husband buy it on his way back,” said a 34-year-old Harbin resident surnamed Sun.
Additionally, three infected travellers arrived from Russia. About 1,400 people are being observed for signs of the virus. By Tuesday, Chen had infected 78 people, with 55 confirmed, though 23 who tested positive have yet to show virus symptoms.
