[국제]China dispatches 3,000 medical staff to 200 infections… Will it become the’second Wuhan’?

[앵커]

In Shijiazhuang, a metropolitan metropolitan city in China, the number of corona19 infections has soared to more than 200 in five days.

Chinese authorities have virtually blocked Shijiazhuang and are putting in a large number of 3,000 medical staff, and there are concerns that it will become like Wuhan a year ago.

This is the highway entrance to Shijiazhuang, a metropolitan city located in the Chinese metropolitan area.

Veterans and police officers have come out to control the cars.

Shijiazhuang City has banned vehicles without permits from leaving the city at all.

At the intercity bus terminal, people stopped walking.

The waiting room door is already tightly closed.

In the case of trains, tickets to outside Shijiazhuang have been discontinued.

Although the airport is still operational, Shijiazhuang, a metropolis with a population of 1 million, is virtually isolated from the outside.

This is an emergency measure that came out as the number of corona19 infected people surged from 1 on the 2nd to more than 200 in just 5 days.

Containment management has begun in residential areas.

Each apartment complex has only one door open and is individually checked for infection.

Nucleic acid tests are also conducted for all residents as if sifting to find hidden infected people.

The Chinese government dispatched a thousand medical staff from other regions to Shijiazhuang.

In the near future, we plan to add 2,000 more people and increase it to 3,000.

It means that the situation is that serious.

The quarantine measures against Shijiazhuang are reminiscent of the blockade of Wuhan in Hubei Province a year ago.

To prevent this re-proliferation from spreading to the capital, Beijing, the Chinese government is responding to a quick decision.
