In Beijing, China, PCR tests for more than 20 million residents are ongoing.

All three times per person this week alone.

The government’s plan is to check again with a time difference of two days.

The number of new infections confirmed through the complete examination was 33, and the cumulative number has exceeded 100 since the 22nd.

Meanwhile, more than 170 residential complexes or buildings in downtown Beijing have been placed under lockdown or administrative control zones.

Following Chaoyang District, all kindergartens and elementary, middle and high schools in Tongzhou District, which has a population of more than 1.8 million, have completely suspended classes.

The corona virus is also spreading in Dandong, Liaoning Province, China’s trading hub with North Korea.

After three new infections were confirmed on the 24th, the number exceeded 100 in two days.

In a middle school, a group infection was confirmed, and students and staff were transferred to an isolation facility in the middle of the night as a group.

It is known that the ferry service from Dandong to Incheon has been suspended, and the North China freight train is still operating normally.

Dandong City imposed a city lockdown ordinance, prohibiting residents from going out, while conducting a PCR test once a day for 2.18 million residents.
