- The restrictions implemented in Hebei this week are some of the strictest since the spread of Covid-19 stalled within the country in March.
- Hebei’s capital city of Shijiazhuang has stopped passengers from going to its train station, suspended long-distance buses, and blocked major highways in the province, according to state media.
- The increase in coronavirus cases in the latest Hebei outbreak indicates the virus has spread for a period of time, Feng Zijian, deputy head of China’s disease control center, said in an interview with state media earlier in the week.
