Coronavirus cases are increasing across China, prompting many local authorities to tighten control over movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to a model from Nomura, about 4.8% of China’s GDP was negatively affected by COVID controls as of Monday, October 10. This is up from 4.3% last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to official announcements, three districts in downtown Shanghai on Monday ordered the temporary closure of entertainment venues such as Internet cafes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several schools in the central Chinese city of Xi’an on Tuesday, October 11, canceled classes for most students, according to local news outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hashtag about the sudden closures was one of the most popular items on Weibo, China’s Twitter-like social media platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The measures come after the week-long National Day holiday that ended Friday, October 7, as “the overall situation of the COVID-19 virus in China appears to have deteriorated,” Nomura chief China economist Ting Lu said in a note Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report mentioned the shutdown since October 4 of a popular tourist city in southern Yunnan Province, the Xinjiang ban on people leaving the area due to the local COVID-19 outbreak, and a lockdown in Haikou City, Hainan Province on October 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mainland China reported 427 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday in more than 20 provincial-level regions in the country.
