The Chinese government has imposed a Geumjok ordinance for a week to allow residents of two provinces in Hebei province, where the Corona 19 outbreak continues, to stay at home. Two days ago, the city was blocked and the exit prohibited. The Chinese government is conducting a quarantine response in line with the war situation, fearing that these areas will become the second Wuhan. This is reporter Kim Jeong-hoe. On the 7th, the Chinese government implemented a city blockade in Shijiazhuang for the first time. Roads, train stations, intercity bus terminals, and other routes that can be transported to and from Shijiazhuang City have been blocked and isolated from the outside. What came out after the blockade of the city was the ‘Gem Jok Spirit’. A week has passed, but in principle, the neighbors’ feet were tied. It also stopped the operation of the subway. The government explained that it is a measure to increase the effectiveness of the quarantine after completing the diagnostic tests for all residents. Like Shijiazhuang, the nearby city of Xingtai has banned all residents from leaving. The resident population alone is 11 million in Shijiazhuang City and 7.4 million in Xingtai City, and the population of the two regions is 18 million. It is the second time after Wuhan that the Chinese government has blockaded an entire city with a population of more than 10 million. Hebei Deputy Provincial Chief Xu Jianfei said that all the villages and complexes in Shijiazhuang and Xingtai Nanguang are closed and managed. The authorities in these regions define the state as a literal “exposure situation”. It is inevitable that both cities and the capital, Beijing, are close. Since Hebei Province surrounds the capital Beijing, there is a great sense of crisis that if local infections are not detected in time, even the capital will be in danger. Last week, the cumulative number of Corona 19 patients in Shijiazhuang exceeded 300. As for the number of new cases that occurred on the 8th, the total number of confirmed cases in mainland China is 17, of which 14 came from Hebei. However, China predicts that the upcoming Spring Festival will be a step to test the government’s response to the quarantine. Local governments are recommending that local residents refrain from moving during the Lunar New Year holidays so that the area and scale of the outbreak does not expand. This is YTN Kim Jeong-hoe.
