Beijing: The Chinese government on Thursday announced a lockdown in the city of Xian to curb a local outbreak of the COVID-19. China asked Xian’s 13 million residents to remain indoors and asked citizens to designate one person for getting essential supplies for households.
It also punished dozens of officials over the virus outbreak, China’s disciplinary body said Friday, the latest state reprimands under Beijing’s strict zero-Covid approach.
