A Chinese city has locked down its 1.1 million residents after reports of new coronavirus cases officials rushed to contain even small outbreaks just over four weeks before the Winter Olympics begin.

The curbs in the city of Yuzhou, in the central province of Henan, are similar to those imposed for nearly two weeks in the industrial hub of Xian, which has become China’s latest COVID-19 epicentre.

“To curb and quash the epidemic within the shortest amount of time is a high-priority political task facing all officials and people in the city,” they said. Yuzhou’s case count is tiny compared with outbreaks in many other places around the world. But China is keen to keep outbreaks under control ahead of the Feb. 4-20 Winter Olympics, being held in Beijing and the nearby province of Hebei, and the Communist Party’s once-every-five-years congress expected later in the year.

Xian reported 95 local symptomatic cases for Monday, up slightly from 90 the day before but lower than the 150 cases or more per day during the December 25-31 period.Xian is aiming at “zero cases in communities”, a situation in which any new infections are only found among people in quarantine, an official at Xian’s disease control authority told state television.
