China Shuts Down Businesses, Transport Over COVID-19

China’s Wuhan district has ordered some businesses and public transport to close after authorities discovered four COVID-19 cases.

Wuhan’s district on Wednesday said it would ban large group events and dining at restaurants.

It added it would also close certain public entertainment venues and agricultural markets, and suspend bus and subway services for the next 3 days.

Authorities also urged residents not to leave the area during the three-day period and travellers to avoid entry.

The restrictions come after officials in the city said they had detected two cases during regular mass testing and two more while screening close contact individuals.

While China claims to have one of the lowest COVID-19 death tolls in the world, its zero-tolerance strategy has inflicted heavy economic and social costs on the country.
