The first confirmed case in the new infection cluster, a 52-year-old man, faithfully informed the city officials, including medical experts, of every place he had visited since May 30 and provided a list of 38 people with whom he had come in close contact in the two weeks before being diagnosed.

Some even termed the strict measures as"overkill", because people even driving past the closed Xinfadi market received a message on their phones asking them to take a virus test.
