Xi’an, the ancient capital in China for centuries, began a much stricter containment measure since the Wuhan lockdown two years ago.

The most sweeping measure entered its eighth day as of Dec. 30, affecting 13 million residents who were restricted from going for groceries, when online ordering and delivery services were also gone.
