Epidemic resurgence in Xi’an, “temporary control” in public places for a week
Xi’an released a message on Weibo on July 5, saying that the Xi’an Epidemic Prevention and Control Press Conference announced that in order to reduce the risk of cross-infection and strive to achieve zero as soon as possible, starting from 0:00 on July 6, it will be implemented in public places in Xi’an for 7 days.

The announcement also stated that because Omicron is more contagious and spreads faster, some infected people have no symptoms or atypical symptoms, and the transmission process is more insidious.
As soon as the news came out, it attracted the attention of a large number of netizens. The netizen “winwin meow wants to eat steak” said, “This is not the last epidemic. If it is blocked every day, it will be impossible to live… I have to think of a long-term solution.” Just arrived in Xi’an at night, got off the high-speed rail and received news that it was under control for seven days, and it exploded on the spot.”
In addition, CCTV News, the official media of the Communist Party of China, quoted the Xi’an Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters as saying that since 20:00 on July 5, Xi’an has a total of 9 high-risk areas and 7 medium-risk areas, which are distributed in Chang’an District, Qujiang New District, International port area, Yanta area and other areas.
Recently, the local epidemic situation in Xi’an has re-emerged. Officially reported data shows that on July 4, there were 9 new local infection cases in the city, 2 of which were asymptomatic infections. There are a total of 18 cases of infection in Xi’an Benbo, of which 8 are asymptomatic infections. Since the CCP has always concealed the truth of the epidemic, it is difficult for the outside world to obtain real data on the epidemic in Xi’an.
Citizens of Xi’an: Serious illegal and human rights violations
In response to the week-long control measures in Xi’an, Mr. Ma, a citizen of Xi’an, told The Epoch Times that many business places and dine-in restaurants were closed, and public transportation was restricted. If the market trade is suspended for a week, it will have a great impact. It will be difficult for many people to buy vegetables. It will be more difficult if they have to go to a fixed vegetable stall to buy. Because the food stalls are far away, there are few points.
Mr. Ma said that the nucleic acid test was done four or five days ago, and there are probably not many people in the world to prevent and control the epidemic. He said, “In general, there is no need to do this now. This is serious illegal and gross human rights violations.”
From Mr. Ma’s point of view, these senior leaders who make policies are trying to deceive and deceive the Chinese people. At the same time, those who are victimized and deceived include them, the decision-makers themselves.
He said, “We should have a good reflection on the epidemic measures, whether it is necessary to make it like this. Now a common cold, heart disease, and any kind of cancer are not much lighter than this epidemic. They are all serious, and the country is like this. Is it under control? Is it alright for people to shut up like this?”
He also said, “Pandemic prevention and control is a very professional and technical task. What should we do? The opinions of professionals, experts, and expert groups do not work, but the Chief Executive’s opinions. Not normal.”
Shanghai launched large-scale nucleic acid testing, and the Weibo comment area was closed in large numbers
In addition to Xi’an being under control for a week due to the re-emergence of the epidemic, large-scale nucleic acid testing has begun in Shanghai, which has just been lifted for a month.

Shanghai, with a population of 25 million, just emerged from a brutal two-month lockdown that took a toll on residents’ lives and the Chinese economy, Bloomberg reported. Zeroing has put China in a cycle of destructive shutdowns and reopenings.
Analysts believe that the zero-clearing policy also isolates China from other countries in the world, and most economists predict that China will not be able to achieve its annual growth target this year. The lockdown has disrupted global supply chains, affecting the operations of global giants from Sony Group to Tesla Inc.
