Xian, the worst Covid outbreak in China after Wuhan in 2020

CHENNAI – Less than 45 days before the start of the Beijing Winter Olympics, China’s worst outbreak has broken out since Wuhan in 2020, forcing the 13 million inhabitants of the metropolis of Xian, famous for the 2000 Ancient Terracotta Warriors, to a tough lockdown. On Sunday evening, hundreds of workers wandered the streets of the city dressed in white for a campaign to disinfect public places, followed by the prohibition against even touching plants in parks.
