Bloomberg with the report on another China lockdown:

  • Around 900,000 residents of Hanyang district were told to stay in their homes from Wednesday, a spokeswoman from the area’s CDC told Bloomberg News by phone
  • Another official at Hanyang’s health bureau said the lockdown would last until Sunday, and that all non-essential businesses had been told to shut.

Bloomberg adds:

  • Lockdowns have been in deployed in Shanxi province’s Datong city, a key coal producing base.
  • The southern metropolis of Guangzhou imposed Covid curbs in a district at its center on Monday.
