A northern Chinese city of 13 million is on lockdown after a spike of just over 200 COVID-19 cases, weeks before the country hosts the Winter Olympics. It’s the tightest restrictions since China locked down 11 million in Wuhan in 2020.
In this photo released by China's Xinhua News Agency, residents line up for tests at a COVID-19 testing site in Xi'an in northwestern China's Shaanxi Province, Tuesday, Dec. 21, 2021. China on Wednesday ordered millions of people locked down in neighborhoods and workplaces in the northern city of Xi'an following a spike in coronavirus cases.
The measure comes just weeks before the country hosts the Winter Olympics in Beijing, roughly 1,000 kilometers to the west. China has also been dealing with a substantial outbreak in several cities in the eastern province of Zhejiang near Shanghai, although isolation measures there have been more narrowly targeted.
