This policy is applied by imposing several general closures when detecting cases of Covid-19, and conducting semi-compulsory corona examinations every 72, 48 or even 24 hours, in addition to imposing quarantine and sudden closure of factories and companies..
Chengdu, with a population of 21 million, recorded 150 new infections with the Corona virus, Friday, according to Agence France-Presse.
To stop the infections, the authorities launched general examinations to detect the disease, and since Thursday ordered the residents to “stay in their homes” until further notice.
And each family will be able to send one person per day abroad, to shop and buy basic goods, provided that a negative result is presented from a nasal swab examination “BCR” conducted less than 24 hours ago..
Videos showed long queues for a BCR test on the street, with empty shelves in supermarkets..
“People have been taking precautions since a sudden stone was imposed in Shanghai in the spring,” said a 25-year-old Chengdu resident, who declined to be named. “Residents at the time complained about the lack of fresh produce or even food.”.
But the situation seems to be under control in Chengdu, where some residents can still order food to their homes.
The Chengdu authorities had initially ruled out the idea of imposing a stone, but on Tuesday the police announced the arrest of a man for 15 days who “was sowing panic” by asserting the opposite on social networks, which sparked criticism.
For weeks, China has been facing a limited resurgence in the spread of “Covid-19”, but it has now affected a large part of the country’s regions.
In Shenzhen, the major city bordering Hong Kong, the authorities announced, on Thursday, restrictions in several regions. This action caused a frenzy of food delivery apps.
