Suzhou City of Jiangsu Province announced on April 16 that it will implement closed-off management to curb the latest COVID-19 outbreak. Suzhou is one of the major industrial centers in China. Its industrial output surpassed that of Shanghai last year.
The Suzhou Municipal Government Information Office announced on its WeChat account that starting from 12 a.m. on April 16, the city will step up its pandemic control measures in six districts. These districts, including Suzhou Industrial Park and Suzhou High-tech Zone, will implement “closed-off management” and strictly enforce “one guard at each residential community entrance” to forbid non-residents from entering the community unless absolutely necessary.
