Chinese authorities are urging citizens not to order items from abroad because they believe the Omicron strain, discovered in Beijing over the weekend, arrived with an international shipment from Canada.

The patient admitted that on January 11 he received a package sent on January 7 from Canada. The patient's family members, the courier and more than 60 other people who had close contact are in quarantine, and more than 16.000 people have been tested in the neighborhood where the Omicron strain was discovered.

There are foci of Covid-19 in several Chinese provinces, primarily due to the Omicron strain.
