In China, after Shanghai, it is Beijing’s turn to be affected by drastic measures to deal with the Covid-19 epidemic. On the other hand, generalized confinement has not yet been acted upon, but the inhabitants fear it.

Chinese authorities fear Covid-19 outbreak will spread to Beijing (China). In the capital of one of the countries with the most drastic restrictions, the authorities have condemned part of the metro stations, and the restaurants are closed. The inhabitants are also called upon to be tested, even if the city officially only has a dozen cases.

Some neighborhoods in Beijing where residents infected with Covid-19 live have been completely padlocked by the authorities. Pekingese fear general confinement. In Shanghai (China)the inhabitants breathe a little. In this city of 26 million inhabitants, which is still confined, some factories have reopened and, for the past few days, the inhabitants of the areas more spared by the epidemic have finally been able to leave their homes.
