Some 5.5 million residents are not allowed to go outside unless to shop for necessities, while non-essential vehicles have been banned from the streets.It appears to be the first time Omicron – the highly transmissible variant surging throughout Europe – has spread in mainland China beyond foreign arrivals and their contacts.
Another 13 million people are shut indoors in Xi’an after 2,000 infections were reported in the ancient capital – China’s largest outbreak in recent months.More than one million residents are also in quarantine in Yuzhou after the discovery of just three asymptomatic cases. Restrictions have been imposed on Tianjin, only an hour from Beijing, which is hosting the Winter Olympics next month.
