Beijing has extended restrictive anti-Covid measures
Beijing today extended restrictive measures for staff and students to stay in their homes and ordered additional mass tests as the number of coronavirus cases in the Chinese capital rose again.
Numerous residential neighborhoods in the city have restricted entry and exit, although the situation is much less dangerous than in Shanghai, where several million people have been under varying levels of blockade for two months.
Beijing today registered 99 new cases of coronavirus, which is an increase compared to the previous days when there were mostly about 50 cases.
Today, 802 cases are registered throughout China, which is a slight decline, which was interrupted by smaller localized hotspots.
Despite this, the government has introduced strict quarantine, closure and testing measures as part of its "zero covidate" policy, although the rest of the world is opening up more and more.
Shanghai says 480.000 people are still isolated in their homes, while 1,6 million people can move around their neighborhood and 21,2 million are under lighter restrictive measures. с
