China’s industrial city of Ningbo and home to the third-largest container port in the world, has been under a partial lockdown due to a recent COVID-19 outbreak. Analysts suggest that the lockdown measures could cause more disruption to the global supply chain.
According to Chinese state-run media Global Times, Ningbo in Zhejiang Province is under a partial lockdown after detecting at least 23 cases of the CCP virus. The outbreak was reportedly concentrated in Beilun District, the core area of the Ningbo port, putting many local truck drivers and essential port personnel under quarantine.
