With three months ahead of the Beijing Winter Olympics, China is putting a lot of effort into preventing the spread of COVID-19.

 

Tens of thousands of people are quarantined at once, and students are staying up all night at school without even returning home until the test results are out.

Yesterday, there were 93 new cases of COVID-19 in mainland China.

 

The number nearly doubled from 54 on the 1st, and 9 people were also infected in the capital Beijing.

 

In Beijing, where the Olympics will be taking place, there are also cases of infection.

 

China is fighting back with high-intensity quarantine measures.

 

[Zhong Nanshan / China's highest epidemiological authority: If there are many infections in an area, we should conduct a large-scale nucleic acid test for the entire population and implement quarantine in that area.]

 

 

On the 1st, when there was one confirmed case each at an elementary school and a middle school in Chaoyang District, Beijing, all students were unable to go home and were locked up in the school and had to be tested all night.

 

The young students were only able to return home at dawn the next day after the test results were available.

 

Earlier, on the 31st of last month, all 34,000 visitors to Shanghai Disneyland in China had to be locked up for nearly five hours.

 

When one visitor who visited this place was confirmed as a confirmed patient, the door was closed and all visitors were tested.

 

In China, facilities visited or stayed by confirmed COVID-19 patients are closed and all visitors to those places are required to undergo a nucleic acid test.

 

[Jiandong / Deputy Mayor of Beijing: If we can't ensure the safety of Corona, we may not be able to host a successful Olympics.]

 

 

They also instructed citizens to stock up on daily necessities in case of COVID-19 lockdown, which means they can impose city lockdowns, including curfews, at any time.

 

In the end, some protests against high-intensity measures have occurred in some blockade areas, but they have not grown into large-scale protests due to the authorities' insistence on the death penalty for violating quarantine measures.
