Corona virus originated from China. However, it was controlled in the initial stage itself. Now the virus has hit China once, after which officials have canceled hundreds of flights, closed schools and started widespread testing. It is being said that a group of tourists is responsible for the outbreak of Corona once again. While other countries are easing their restrictions, rules like border restrictions and lockdown in identified places are still in force in China.
The authorities have made the rules more strict to control the situation. The recent outbreak is said to be related to an elderly couple who were involved in several tourist groups. He started his journey from Shanghai before flying to Xi’an, Gansu Province and Inner Mongolia.
Dozens of cases have been reported after the couple’s travels in at least five provinces and territories, including the capital Beijing. Local governments have started testing on a large scale. Schools, entertainment venues and tourism sites have been closed in the affected areas. Lockdown has also been imposed for some houses. People have been advised not to step out of their homes except for essential work.
People have been told that they will not be allowed to leave the city without a corona negative certificate. At the same time, according to the data of aviation tracker VeriFlight, hundreds of flights have been canceled from airports in the affected areas. About 60 percent of flights to the two main airports in Xi’an and Lanzhou have been canceled. In a notice published on Monday, Ehrenhot in Inner Mongolia said travel in and out of the city was banned and residents were asked not to leave their homes.
