Infections are rising in Chengdu. As of Wednesday, Chengdu in Sichuan province had reported 570 confirmed Covid patients and 196 asymptomatic cases since the latest outbreak of the pandemic started in the city on August 25.
The pandemic situation in cities surrounding Sichuan is relatively serious. The personnel exchanges between Chengdu and the surrounding areas are frequent. As a result, the number of infection cases related to people outside the city has gradually increased.
Chengdu started ‘static management’ across the city on Thursday, with residents required to stay home and unnecessary businesses was suspended, in an effort to curb the further expansion of an ongoing Covid outbreak in the city, according to local authorities.
