For a long time, the coronavirus in China seems to be under control. Not far from the capital Beijing, the number of infections is now skyrocketing. The authorities are alarmed and cordon off the affected region as far as possible. A gigantic test offensive is underway. China is experiencing the largest coronavirus outbreak in months. After the most populous country had the virus largely under control since the summer and only counted isolated infections, the numbers in Hebei province just outside Beijing rose to more than 200 in a few days. To date, the health commission in the province around the capital has reported 90 illnesses and 144 asymptomatic infections. A further increase was expected.

The authorities are alarmed and have declared a “state of war” in the fight against the virus. The provincial capital Shijiazhuang, 300 kilometers to the northeast, is particularly affected. Transport connections with buses, trains and planes to the metropolis were largely interrupted. The eleven million inhabitants are being tested. Some residential areas have been cordoned off. Classes in kindergartens, elementary and middle schools have been suspended. Additional medical personnel were mobilized and dispatched to the province.

Fear of the impending wave of travel

In addition to Shijiazhuang, the cities of Xingtai and Nangong, where 500,000 people are being tested, are also affected. The capital Beijing took protective measures. Roadside checks have been set up. Freight from Hebei is also strictly controlled. The new outbreak is raising concerns about the impending wave of travel ahead of the Chinese New Year celebrations on February 12th. A few hundred million people are usually on the way to their home villages for the most important family festival for the Chinese. However, the authorities have already advised migrant workers not to travel home this time.

More than a year ago, the first cases of the Sars-CoV-2 virus were discovered in the central Chinese metropolis of Wuhan, which has now infected 87 million people worldwide. More than 1.8 million have died as a result. After initially inadequately handling the virus, China’s authorities have taken tough measures since the end of January 2020 and largely brought the pandemic under control with quarantine, curfews, contact tracing and extensive entry restrictions at the borders. So life in China returned to normal.
