The northeastern Chinese city of Jilin has announced a lockdown after a second-wave outbreak of COVID-19 was detected.
The city shares the name of the province where it’s located and is its second-largest city, with 4.5 million residents. It’s the first major Chinese city to enact a lockdown since most regions eased quarantine measures throughout March and April.
When the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes the disease COVID-19, spread quickly across the country early this year, most of China was placed under lockdown. However, as regional officials began reporting no or few new cases in March—even as experts were skeptical of Chinese authorities’ figures—restrictions were lifted.
The Jilin provincial health commission on May 8 announced the initial case among its second wave of illnesses: a 45-year-old cleaning lady at the city of Shulan’s police bureau. Since then, a cluster of more than a dozen people were confirmed to be ill in Shulan and nearby Jilin city.
On May 10, the Party boss of Jilin Province announced that Shulan had entered “wartime.”
Jilin city officials on May 13 announced 11 special regulations to contain the outbreak.
Each local district must locate all close contacts of diagnosed patients, as well as people who returned to the city from traveling overseas or from visiting “high-risk regions,” according to the directive. A high-risk region refers to an area where a virus outbreak has recently occurred.
Additionally, all villages and residential compounds must be locked down, and anyone who wishes to leave or enter their household must register their personal information, scan their mobile-app-generated health code, and have their body temperatures taken. In communities that are difficult to fully lock down or are located close to highways, local officials must arrange patrolling teams to check on pedestrians, the statement says.

Apparently,the warm weather did nothing to the virus there.
“Apparently,the warm weather did nothing to the virus there.”
Warm weather does NOTHING for nasty viruses, these days. Back in 1918 it helped a lot, since it meant that people opened windows and with that indoor viron concentrations took a dive. These days, thank to Greta, often we can’t even open windows.
