Central China’s Zhengzhou, capital of Henan Province, announced on Jan. 4 that two districts of the city were divided into three segments and each is locked down to a different level. This is the latest order the regime launched to curb the spread of COVID-19.

The segments are called “Closed Zone,” “Controlled Zone,” and “Prevention Zone,” and residents from different zones have different levels of freedom.
