The Chinese authorities imposed a closure again in one of its largest cities due to an outbreak of Corona. Chinese media reported that residents of the southwestern city of Chengdu will not be allowed to leave their homes as of Thursday evening.
In addition, the entire city will undergo COVID-19 tests within four days.
The authorities announced the strict measures after detecting 132 injuries in Chengdu on Wednesday. And 307 new injuries were recorded nationwide during the same period.

A curfew was also imposed in the cities of Chengde, Shijiazhuang, near Beijing.
In the northeastern city of Tianjin, authorities ordered coronavirus tests for all residents, while entire districts were cordoned off in the southern city of Shenzhen.
