In less than a month before the opening of the Beijing Olympics, 77 new coronavirus infections were conducted in Tianjin, China, where a mutant virus, Omicron strain, "community-acquired" occurred. I found out that I was doing it.
Local authorities are stepping up measures, including a second inspection of all citizens.
In Tianjin, which is adjacent to Beijing, the capital of China, it was found on the 9th of this month that two people were infected with the new coronavirus, Omicron strain, and Tianjin city officials said it was a "community-acquired infection" for which the infection route was unknown. We conducted a PCR test for all citizens.
According to the official's announcement on the 12th, after testing more than 12.5 million people, 77 people gave a positive reaction, so we are further investigating whether or not we are infected with the Omicron strain.
In response to these results, the authorities began a second PCR test for all citizens on the 12th.
In addition, traffic to and from Beijing is restricted, such as by stopping the operation of high-speed trains and buses from Tianjin to Beijing.
In China, a community-acquired infection of the Omicron strain was confirmed in Henan Province in the inland region, and an infection of the new Corona Delta strain spread in Xian, Shaanxi Province, and about 13 million citizens were severely restricted from going out for three weeks. In less than a month before the opening of the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese government and local authorities are stepping up measures.
