Beijing has imposed new restrictions on 3.5 million people in its upscale diplomats' district, as it guards against the threat of a second wave of coronavirus cases.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Tuesday said there were no plans to change travel restrictions on China as Australia's largest trading partner looks re-open parts of its economy despite the threat of a second wave.reported on Tuesday that Chinese diplomats had begun negotiating with up to a dozen countries including South Korea, Singapore and others in Europe on two-way travel for essential workers and business.
A popular shopping area has been fenced off and checkpoints enhanced. Three areas in Heilongjiang province, near the Russian border have also been classed as medium risk. Harbin, the capital, has seen more than 50 cases after dozens of new transmissions. "The greatest challenge is the risk of a second or third wave of the outbreak," he said. "One thing good is that although many aspects of the virus still remain unknown, we now understand how it works. The people are better prepared for restrictive measures which have proved to be effective."Health authorities have also bumped up testing of foreigners as part of their coronavirus suppression tactics.
