Eleven districts in Shanghai and seven cities in Jilin Province are rated as high risk areas.
Jilin Province: Cities on Lockdown, Residents Go Through Rounds of PCR Tests
The latest outbreak in Jilin Province is among the worst in China. Residents in Changchun City, the capital of Jilin, have completed two rounds of PCR tests and a third round was in preparation.
In Dunhua, another city in Jilin, the local government announced a lockdown at 4:00 p.m. on March 9, 2022. All local residents were ordered to go through three rounds of PCR tests. Trains and buses (both local and long-distance) are all suspended.
Another city in Jilin Province was also hit hard. Starting on March 6, the authorities in Fengman District, Jilin City, began to block local residents from leaving their subdivisions, except essential workers from the water or power companies. Nobody was allowed to go out for grocery shopping, but could order takeout and pick up at the gate of their subdivision. No walking was allowed in community parks either, except when doing PCR tests.
