China’s Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Ningxia, and a dozen other provinces ordered residents to self-report if they have visited cities where eight newly diagnosed COVID-19 patients have been in the past 10 days.
In Shaanxi’s Xi’an city, where seven of the eight patients were diagnosed, the city government closed tourist sites, locked down several neighborhoods, tested over 30,000 people within hours after the new diagnosis, and will test all residents in the following days.
