In #Beijing a new cluster of #covid19 cases emanating from, wait for it, a seafood market. Footage appears to show hundreds of People’s Armed Police sent to the Xin Fa Di wholesale market. Officials said traces of the #coronavirus found on a chopping board with “imported” salmon.
More than 10,000 staff at the Xin Fa Di wholesale market are to be tested for the #coronavirus. The latest three infections where all people who worked there. In a flash #Beijing has gone from more than 50 days with no case to 7 confirmed with symptoms + 46 confirmed asymptomatic
Because of the new #coronavirus In #Beijing various schools and kindergartens are closing again along with the National Centre for the Performing Arts, Lama Temple etc etc. Sport has been cancelled again. #China
From tomorrow all people in #Hubei (except #Wuhan) who have green code health clearance can leave the Province. People in #Wuhan city can leave on the 8th of April. The #coronavirus lockdown down there is finally coming to an end. #China #covid19
So, for the people of #Wuhan, by the time they lift the #coronavirus lockdown on the 8th of April they will have been under that restriction for 76 days. It’s been a tough slog for that city and for all of #Hubei Province.
How’s this for both ends of the #coronavirus tunnel: #Sydney’s Taronga Zoo and #Perth Zoo close as #Beijing Zoo re-opens. #China #covid19 #Australia
The number of new #China #coronavirus infections from overseas arrivals seems to be increasing every day a/c to official figures (usual caveats). So 46 new cases today include 45 from passengers arriving + 1 person in #Guangdong who caught it from a person arriving.
