SUIFENHE, China - A timber mill on China’s northeastern border with Russia was buzzing with activity this week as dozens of workers sorted, cut and stacked logs.
Still, the mill is a story of relative success in Suifenhe, a remote city that has recently been hit hard by the coronavirus after being spared for weeks as the outbreak ravaged other parts of China. Suifenhe, just 120 km from the Russian port city of Vladivostok, has emerged as a new hot spot because of an influx of Chinese citizens arriving from Russia overland.
Suifenhe is more than 2,000 km northeast of Wuhan, capital of central Hubei province, where the novel coronavirus emerged late last year, and for weeks residents felt safe.But by late March that changed, with the first talk of imported cases. On April 2, the Heilongjiang provincial health commission reported four new cases.
