The risk from overseas infections appeared to be on the rise, prompting tougher screening and quarantine measures in major cities such as the capital Beijing.
China had 78 new cases on Monday, the National Health Commission said, a two-fold increase from the previous day. Breaking down the latest news and research to understand how the world is living through an epidemic, this is the ABC's Coronacast.The Chinese capital Beijing was the hardest hit, with a record 31 new imported cases, followed by southern Guangdong province with 14 and the financial hub of Shanghai with nine.Only four new cases were local transmissions. One was in Wuhan which had not reported a new infection in five days.
Beijing's City Government tightened quarantine rules for individuals arriving from overseas, saying that everyone entering the city will be subject to centralised quarantine and health checks.
I feel embarrassed at the way that diplomat from the Chinese Embassy was spoken to on Q&A.
Well I hope their “markets” that facilitate the transmission of animal pathogens to humans have been banned forever!
FOUR Months people
Only 60 days and we are looking at slowly slowly SloMo . And UK shutdown is IMMEDIATE not 27 hours later. Slowly slowly. A very diff national emergency. SHE'LL BE RIGHT MATE
Many China cities, e.g. Beijing, are still locking down/up people. How can China lift the lockdown in its epicentre so quickly? Do you really believe there is no new confirmed case in Wuhan and Hubei? Second wave of infection might start in China... hold on your seat belt!
So they release round two because the first outbreak didn't wipe us all out like they do our shop shelves.FFS WE MUST BOYCOTT CHINA
Without a cure, without a vaccine- won’t they just go up again? Hi all, let’s start spreading it again🤔
Mr PM stop talking 6 months. Wuhan was closed for 60 days. We must take drastic measures to go extremely hard and fast to save lives then economy will bounce back faster. Please lockdown immediately australialockdown totallockdown Covid_19australia ScottMorrisonMP GladysB
