After the closure of Xi’an, the epidemic situation did not fall but rose, and it has attracted public attention. Kong Hong, deputy director of the Xi’an Civil Affairs Bureau, said frankly at the press conference that at present, Xi’an communities are under great pressure for prevention and control.
Some netizens said: “499 confirmed cases, 20,000 red codes were isolated in the hotel, 490,000 yellow codes, management and control upgrade. Why is it getting more and more serious?!”
Some netizens also said, “For a city with a population of tens of millions of people like Xi’an, it has caused multi-point transmission in the community. The city can only be shut down through rounds of city-wide nucleic acid investigations. The cost is huge. The most difficult is those fighting. People on the front line of epidemic prevention, Xi’an, come on!”
Some netizens revealed: “It is said that there is a place where volunteers help to collect nucleic acids. When a leader comes to pose for a photo, the volunteers’ mentality collapses and they quit on the spot.”
Mr. Zhao, a citizen of Xi’an, told The Epoch Times on the 25th that after the city was closed on the 23rd, residents were prohibited from entering and leaving the districts. “Generally, people can’t get out of the community. People sent by the government are on duty in this community.”
Mr. Zhao said: “The streets are all empty, and we are not allowed to go out. We have suffered a lot of loss in opening a store, and the pressure is also very high. Now we have just closed the city for 3 days, the serious consequences have not yet fully manifested!”
Xi’an citizen Ms. Li said: “The government has blocked this district and that district every day, many, many, our community has also been blocked, no one is allowed to enter, but our community is unnamed, and it is not on the list of bans. We did not mention the close contacts in our community.”
A video posted on the Internet showed that after the closure of the city of Xi’an, which has a population of 13 million, the city was empty. Apart from the sporadic police cars and anti-epidemic personnel wearing white protective clothing, no one could be seen on the street. (Click to watch the video）

All medical institutions are required to strengthen management, and personnel are not necessary to “not cross and flow”.
All staff in supermarkets, convenience stores, farmer’s markets, medical institutions, and logistics and delivery places are required to “wear N95 masks and medical gloves.”
As New Year’s Day and Chinese New Year approach, people flow and gather frequently. In an interview with CCTV on the 26th, Zhang Boli, an academician of the Communist Party of China, said that the fight against the epidemic has reached a critical period and he called on the people to minimize the flow of people and “to celebrate the New Year in situ.”
Zhang Boli previously stated that the out-of-control epidemic in Xi’an is a “careless” for grassroots epidemic prevention and control. He believes that, generally speaking, it takes one or one and a half cycles of the epidemic to determine when a turning point will occur, and it takes about 20 days to tell the difference.
