Chinese authorities imposed the “strictest control measures” on the northeastern city of Shulan on May 18 amid a growing number of infections in a second-wave outbreak of the CCP virus.

The city of 703,000 in Jilin Province, which borders Russia, is the location of the latest outbreak, and one of only two places in China currently designated as “high-risk” for an outbreak. On May 17, the Fengman district in the province’s Jilin city had been labeled as a “high-risk” area.
