COVID-19 Spread in Jilin Province, China Subsides... Risk Level Lowered to 'Low Risk'

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] As the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in Jilin Province, China, has subsided, the COVID-19 risk level across China has been readjusted to 'low risk.'

According to CCTV and others on the 8th, the risk level of Fengman District in Jilin City, Jilin Province, was downgraded from high risk to low risk, and Changyi District and Chuanying District were downgraded from medium risk to low risk. As a result, after 29 days of strengthened control within Jilin Province, the entire region has returned to a low-risk area.

China had adjusted the entire country to a COVID-19 low-risk area on the 7th of last month, but immediately after, cases occurred in Shulan City, Jilin Province, leading to cluster infections. Consequently, on the 9th of last month, two days later, Shulan City was upgraded from a low-risk to a medium-risk area. Since then, control measures have been strengthened in many areas within Jilin Province.

Along with this, train stations and other facilities resumed operations from this day. However, places where people gather in enclosed spaces, such as movie theaters, will remain closed for the time being.
