What’s worrisome about the Beijing case, he says, is that the infected people are so widespread. “Right now (Omicron) is more terrifying. Why is Beijing worried because it spreads very fast.” Because the transportation network used by the first case covered almost all districts in Beijing, “this morning, it was reported that 2,000 people were tested in Beijing. People, it is estimated that (testing) must be expanded at night. Once new cases are found, it may be troublesome.”

Mr. Liu said that the authorities are keeping an eye on whether there are people who conceal their itineraries, “Beijing issued a notice, and our mobile phones have received this notice. If there are medium and high-risk areas returning to Beijing, it lists Shaanxi, Henan, Guangdong, and Tianjin.

If you find one or two cases in one district of your city, you are not allowed to enter. Beijing! All personnel entering Beijing, even if they are not from medium and high-risk areas, also need nucleic acid certificates. Very strict, very strict for those who enter Beijing!”
College students in three districts of Shanghai’s epidemic spread urgently
On January 13, Shanghai reported that 5 people were associated with 1 case of imported asymptomatic infection reported on January 11, which belonged to the same transmission chain. 3 of them were service staff of a milk tea shop at No. 228 Yuyuan Road, Jing’an District.

The control measures are increased layer by layer, and the public complains
Mr. Liu, a citizen of Beijing’s Haidian District, told The Epoch Times that after Beijing’s control upgrade, the inspection procedures were very troublesome.
He said, “Yesterday, I went to Beijing from out of town and passed through the checkpoint. It was blocked for more than 40 minutes, because everyone needs to be tested (nucleic acid) when they enter Kyoto. It must be slow. They also need to look at the green code and check the ID card.”
Then go to the hospital, not only look at the green code, but also look at the itinerary code. When you go to each hospital, you have to enter it again. “If the Beijing code is a green code, it actually represents your itinerary. If you want to come back from Tianjin, it is not The green code, so it is reasonable to look at the green code, it has to have an itinerary code.” “I want to say that it’s not worth it at all, it’s too troublesome to go to the hospital now.”
