hey fellas, pssssssssttttt
BEIJING -- China on Friday ordered a lockdown of the 9 million residents of the northeastern city of Changchun amid a new spike in COVID-19 cases in the area attributed to the highly contagious omicron variant.
Residents are required to remain at home, with one family member permitted to venture out to buy food and other necessities every two days. All residents must undergo three rounds of mass testing, while non-essential businesses have been closed and transport links suspended.
The latest lockdowns, which also include Yucheng with 500,000 people in the eastern province of Shandong, show China is sticking to the draconian approach to the pandemic it has enforced for most of the past two years, despite some earlier indications that authorities would be implementing more targeted measures.
China reported another 397 cases of local transmission nationwide on Friday, 98 of them in Jilin province that surrounds Changchun, a center of the country's auto industry. In the entire province, cases have exceeded 1,100 since the latest outbreak first struck late last week.
Just two cases were reported within Changchun itself on Friday, bringing its total to 78 in recent days. Authorities have repeatedly pledged to lock down any community where one or more cases are found under China’s “zero tolerance” approach to the pandemic.
Another 93 cases were confirmed in the nearby city of Jilin that bears the same name as the surrounding province. Authorities have already ordered a partial lockdown in the city and severed travel links with other cities.
Officials of the Jilin Agricultural Science and Technology University have been sacked after a cluster of infections was reported on campus and students complained on social media that those who tested positive were being confined in school libraries and other buildings in poor conditions.
The school has registered 74 confirmed cases and transferred more than 6,000 people to quarantine, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
Aerial images showed students in hazmat suits lining up in the cold and dark waiting to be transferred.

unleash the flutes on 'em guru..
man if you know china you know as they go we go they will not allow the world to move on if they're still dealing with the shyt. they are powerful, global and capable of distributing the virus whenever they spike. or maybe i need to doff my tinfoil hat...
Unless Justin does something at the fed level, Doug staying the course on opening upnikka we gon' see....
Nothing in Ontario will happen before:
The old people there don't trust China, same with their kids so only 30% of their elderly are fully vaccinated. Unfortunately HK is super dense, so once someone gets it, the entire family gets it because they all live in tiny shoebox apartments.
HK is like a 30 min ferry from China too and tens of thousands of people cross the border to work in Shenzhen everyday, so it spread quick.
Nah, it's likely over here already. They should just bring back pcr testing so people can get a proper diagnosis but Doug Ford is obviously shutting down testing so the numbers are lower in the general public's eyes before the elections. Even that bald headed fukk Dr.Moore said the real numbers are 10x more than the reported figures
Rapid tests are still hard to come by for most people, since most retailers are already out of tests in the morning. All that shyt about testing being available for all is pure lies
jdub right again. he's not gonna do shyt until after the election. guaranteed he's gonna win too so he's just gonna wait it out
hey no worries just remember to quote me if he has to lockdown again.
