China has ramped up coronavirus-related restrictions, including lockdowns, as it continues to implement the “zero-Covid policy,” reported Bloomberg on Friday.
Chinese citizens are restricted to their homes under the zero-Covid policy. The food is distributed to them. The policy also includes travel bans and mass testing.
The system is unsustainable, World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus had said in May.
The residents of Shanghai, China’s largest city with a population of about 2.63 crores, were on Friday told to stay at their homes as authorities ordered mass testing, reported PTI. Several other cities, including Beijing and Wuhan, are also under lockdown.
Schools and dining at restaurants in the southern city of Guangzhou have been suspended.
