Coronavirus: China Imposes Lockdown in Ejin County due to the Delta Variant Surge

Last updated on January 20th, 2022 at 06:23 am

At a briefing in Beijing, the National Health Commission of China said that the delta variant from overseas causes the current coronavirus wave. China has locked down a county named Ejin in the inner Mongolia region that reported the most significant delta cases.

The initial outbreak in the country’s northwest region rapidly soars into a nationwide wave. China announced 38 cases on Monday, a big part of which were reported in Inner Mongolia.

China asked 35,700 residents of the Ejin county to remain at home from Monday and passed a civil and criminal rule for those who do not follow the protocol. The county is home to almost 33% of the over 150 infections observed over the preceding week in the region.        

All train services related to tourism within China have also been suspended, as the current covid-19 surge has seen the infection spread fast among tourists.

The sudden surge of delta infection spread to 11 regions in the week from Oct. 17. At the press briefing, Mi Feng, a representative for the commission, stated that many infected people have a history of cross-region travel. Mi urged pandemic-affected areas to utilize “emergency mode.”

China is the only nation in the world still seeking to dispense local transmission of the disease, while other Covid-Zero nations like Singapore to Australia have preferred to regard the surge as an endemic.

Meanwhile, regions with a few cases, including Guizhou, in the southwest, inner Mongolia and Beijing, have been restricted from carrying cross-country travel journeys.
