As strict restrictions on going out continue due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection in Shanghai, China, the US government has ordered the staff of the Consulate General of Shanghai and their families to evacuate from the field.
In Shanghai, China, 23,342 people infected with the new coronavirus were confirmed on the 11th, mainly asymptomatic people, and although the number decreased from 10th, the number of newly infected people per day is still 20,000. It is over.
Under these circumstances, the US Embassy in China announced that the staff of the Consulate General of Shanghai and their families had been ordered to evacuate from the field if they had no urgent work.
The order, dated 11th, states that "there is no priority over the safety and security of American citizens."
The U.S. Embassy announced on the 9th of this month that the staff of the Consulate General of Shanghai and their families allowed the evacuation if they wished, but it has been upgraded to an order as the infection continues to spread. ..
Ambassador Burns, who is stationed in China, has repeatedly expressed concern to the Chinese government about infection control, including strict restrictions on going out, and has already notified the evacuation order.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China has argued that when the United States took measures to allow the evacuation of applicants, it said, "We are blaming China's infection control measures for no reason." It seems that.
