The Chinese regime placed 21 million in the southern megacity of Chengdu under lockdown, the largest move to contain the COVID-19 flareups since Shanghai’s shutdown.

All residents must stay at home starting at 6 p.m. on Sept. 1, the city official said in a statement. Families are permitted to send one person—who has a negative result on a PCR test taken within 24 hours—per day to get groceries. There is no word on when the lockdown will be lifted.
