people. china is putting 2 cities back under lockdown measures after a cluster of new coronavirus infections people in jail and city in the northeast are being told to stay in it's home to more than 4000000 people bus and train services have been halted recently reopened schools have been shut again a british one city was put under lockdown on sunday and more unless it's going to get any you who is live for us in beijing so katrina what in particular about these clusters as authorities so concerned. well michele we know that this cluster is in fact growing and starting to spread to other areas in china in the last 24 hours there were 3 new cases new local transmissions reported one in jilin city but 2 in neighboring province and that's why the authorities are so concerned so far so far over 20 people are confirmed to have covered 19 in gielen province and more than 700 people who have been known to
10:05 am
have and been in contact with these 20 or so cases have also been put into hospital facilities or quarantine facilities for monitoring in isolation the government has also published the whereabouts and recent activities of these confirmed cases urging the public to come forward if they've been in these areas or are feeling unwell and the reason that the another reason that the government is so concerned what it may seem like a bit of an overreaction 20 cases leading to the lockdown of more than 4000000 people but the fact is the government does have suspicion that this cluster may have been growing undetected for an unknown amount of time what we do know is that this cluster is linked to a 45 year old woman ensure land city a smaller city a satellite city close to deal in city of about 7 100000 people living there and she did 1000 but it's a mystery exactly how she got it she doesn't have any travel history she hasn't come to contact with any important cases but she does work as

10:07 am
past few days you would have received a text message saying that you need to go to a live nearest clinical testing center to schedule a go test everyone must do this there is exempt up people who have done testing in the last 2 weeks but there are signs that this is going to become more of a part of every day life around china in cities like beijing especially as domestic travel restrictions ease local governments are asking travelers to show a clear nucleic acid test as a kind of possible to travel around for more cities developing these testing facilities for about $30.00 you can go and be tested and have your results in one day so no sign of mass testing in other areas of china as yet but definitely more people are getting used to the fact that this will become an essential part of life in china for months to come at least with the latest in beijing katrina thank you. new zealand has lifted most of its most of its strict lockdown measures meaning many everyday activities can resume restaurants businesses and shopping malls have
