Wuhan city in Central China's Hubei province announced that it will conduct the city's entire population of 11 million for the coronavirus virus in wake of the recent surge in COVID-19 cases. The city, which reported the first case of COVID-19 in late 2019, has also upgraded its epidemic response measure, locking down the area where local COVID-19 infections have been reported while upgrading its risk levels, Chinese state media Global Times reported.

Wuhan city has reported zero local infections since June 2020. All schools and tutorial institutions have been asked to suspend offline classes and strengthen campus health monitoring, meanwhile speeding up the vaccination for teachers and students, local authorities announced on Tuesday. The city's metro has imposed stricter COVID-19 rules, including a mandatory on wearing masks, measuring body temperature, and checking health codes. Several locations near the Zhuankou neighborhood are temporarily closed. The announcement comes after the tourist destination of Zhangjiajie in central China's Hunan province as well as nearby Zhuzhou city-issued similar orders in recent days to more than two million people combined.

Let us tell you that China reported 61 domestic cases on Tuesday as an outbreak of the fast-spreading Delta variant reached dozens of cities. As the new COVID-19 cases have been reported in at least 18 Chinese provinces, experts in the country have raised alarm due to the latest outbreak in the country fuelled by the spread of the Delta variant. Chinese public health officials on Sunday said the ongoing outbreak is the most serious one since the initial outbreak in Wuhan, a source reported.
