Millions of people are slated to undergo coronavirus testing by Chinese authorities in Wuhan after another outbreak broke out in the city:
After 35 days of silence, 6 new people infected with COVID were identified during the past weekend.
CNN writes. According to epidemiological authorities, none of the newly infected people brought the virus from abroad, so it was suspected that the virus was still spreading in the city from which their world conquest journey had begun.
Therefore, large-scale tests begin, not only with serological tests for antibodies against the virus, but with more complex but more reliable PCR tests for viral hereditary results.
Authorities said Wuhan’s population of 11 million is slated to be tested in just ten days, a call for this has already appeared in Chinese state media.
In Wuhan, life could resume on April 8 after a 76-day complete closure of the city. The next large-scale test, if the public can learn the actual results, could show how much the virus may have accelerated its spread by lifting stringent restrictions.
In recent days, not only in Wuhan but also in the city of Shulan, in Chilin province, 11 new infections have been found, while in the East Asia region of South Korea, Seoul, another center of infection.
